You might think I haven't been on my blog lately, as evidenced by my lack of recent posts.  However, you would be wrong.  I've been stealthily working on my blog, behind the scenes and under the hood.  Specifically, I've been exploring the wonderful world of news aggregators.  One of the best things about Radio UserLand has to be its built-in News Aggregator.  In fact, when Ernie the Attorney first turned me on to blogging, it was the News Aggregator that hooked me.  Imagine:  Instead of surfing the 'net for news, the news is delivered directly to you, from the sources you choose (that is, those sources that have RSS/XML feeds and allow you to tap into them), and updated throughout the day, all day.  The hardest part is deciding which feeds to choose (and, of course, finding enough news-reading time).  The coolest thing about Radio UserLand's built-in News Aggregator is the link that's provided that allows you to post directly to your blog, with news blurb and link to the source.

A couple of free news aggregator sources you should check out:

• Radio UserLand and other bloggers can browse for and easily link to RSS/XML feeds, for free, through News is Free.
• Non-Radio UserLand bloggers and even non-bloggers can create their own desktop news aggregators with blocktrack.com or AmphetaDesk (both free).

News Junkie Nirvana!
