Keeping up with all the great resources on the web isn't easy, and aggregators are becoming very popular. An aggregator is a site that allow you to monitor your favorite content on one simple page rather than visiting a bunch of different sites every day.
Bloglines is just such an aggregator- it allows you to keep up with postings on your favorite blogs in one place, so you can quickly scroll through the latest posts and see if anything merits a further read (sure is a lot quicker than having to go to a dozen plus different blogs). You might also find this a great way to monitor your local political chatter in the blogosphere. The set up is super easy - you simply sign up for a free account, compile the blog feeds you are interested in, and set preferences like if you want headlines only, summaries, or entire posts displayed. Bonus - you can 'clip' and save useful postings for later.

Give some thought to how you can use this to enhance your own learning. Also, think about the implications if our readers are using an aggregator. How does that change the content of your posts?
