Tracking blogs and newsfeeds

Following the recent surge in bloggers, you may be wondering what the best way of keeping track of them all is.  Well one suggestion is bloglines, which is a browser-based RSS feedtracker.  Basically it can keep track of news sites or blogs that you specify it to keep track of.  You login to it through your browser wherever you are, and it will display an outline of updates made to the blogs or news sites you specify it to track.  You can then click on the links and read the associated pages.
It supports feeds from bloger, which is handy since its what we all use for our blogs, and also tracks feeds from news sites.  Some news sites you might want to try out are the BBC, The Guardian, Belfast Telegraph, Google News, and there are hundreds more.
Give it a try and see how you find it, I find it’s real handy for me, especially in a short lunch hour, saves trawling through lots of web pages and keeps you informed and up to date
