Bloglines, a web-based RSS reader, recommended by Chip.
What I like about it most is the way that it helps you manage and avoid weblog subscription cruft, with:
* an easy “unsubscribe” link that you can use to sign off from blogs you really don’t want to be reading.
* ability to synch the list of blogs you read, as maintained in bloglines, with your blogroll.
One of my hesitancies about using RSS instead of web browsing to read blogs is that RSS subscriptions gather, unread, in your reader, like magazines in the corner. If you browse, and return to a favorite blog that you haven’t read in a while, it’s a delicious treat. If you subscribe, and see 52 unread posts, it’s a guilty burden.
The Bloglines pruning functions seem like they’ll help manage the joy/guilt ratio.
