I've sampled a few <a href="http://www.lights.com/weblogs/rss.html">aggregators</a> and have somewhat settled on <a href="http://www.bloglines.com">Bloglines</a>, but I probably only check <a href="http://www.bloglines.com/public/amanda">my Bloglines page</a> twice a week at most. I'm still far more dependant on <a href="http://www.etches-johnson.com/index.shtml?/misc/linky.html">my blogroll</a> mostly because I tend to find that blog content taken out of the design context just isn't what I'm looking for. <a href="http://www.errant.org/lago/">This guy</a> succinctly outlines a few reasons <a href="http://www.errant.org/lago/archives/001054.html">why RSS doesn't work for him</a> and I'd agree with just about all of them [via <a href="http://rss.lockergnome.com/archives/opinion/009507.phtml">lockergnome</a>, ironically taken off my aggregator this morning!] Amanda Etches-Johnson 2004-03-12T19:15:58Z aggregators and have somewhat settled on Bloglines, but I probably only check my Bloglines page twice a week at most.
