    This is the flavor of the moment, there are a bunch of there floating around. RSS aggregators are all the rage now. I don't see why someone would want a slow site to maintain them when you can just create a folder of LiveBookmarks in Firefox and get all the aggregation you need. For more dedicated aggregation there is Thunderbird and lots of native clients with lots of features.

    I am sure there is a use for these, but this feels like the .com boom time, money put into ideas with questionable innovations and no viable way to profit. These companies then patent all the prior art around and horribly retard the innovation process of the space. Oh well, it's bound to happen, the clueless always feel their idea is new and unique and patentable.
