But it's such a *productive* waste of time...

I've lost half the day to messing around with news aggregators. Basically, aggregators put almost everything you could possibly want to read online in one place, and lets you know when a page has updated. It's so excellent, if for no other reason than I'll now remember to read things I always forget about, like Dave Barry's column and online comics, while I'm checking news and weblogs. And I won't keep clicking over to blogs that haven't updated. (Speaking of blogs that don't update, this site is now syndicated, if anyone gives a damn: http://www.englishmajor.com/atom.xml).

Check it out for yourself. Andrea recommends Bloglines, and so far, so do I. It's online crack. Have fun, and see you in a few days when you come up for air.
