Reading Ben Hammersley led me to the just released NewsMonster which is yet another news aggregator! I might have to give this one a try. It works with Mozilla and uses Java, so it will work in any OS, and it claims to render most major news sites, even if they don’t have an RSS feed. It also caches full articles for offline reading. We might have to give that a try on the laptop to see how well it works.

Picked up from Dave, is Microsoft getting into the Blog-tool business? Anyone know more about this “Community Starter Kit”?
