Ok, it’s not exactly my idea. In fact, it’s not really near my idea. Actually, my idea is completely different.  But it looks a lot like my idea. Check out NewsGator, an RSS aggregator that integrates into Outlook. It’s $29 for one user, and it looks pretty neat in how it works. Something akin to what I had in mind, but not quite.  Besides that, it’s only really useful for Outlook users.  (Of which I am one, but many folks aren’t.)

While I’m on the topic of news aggregators again, let me pass on a couple of other findings.  First, there’s QuickBrowse. (What is it with all of these two-word products that are separated by capitalization?) It lets you receive copies of your favorite sites via one long morning email. It’s actually kind of neat looking.

LinkFilter (that’s three in this post alone!) is an interesting site that is like MetaFilter in that it lets the public post links. However, LinkFilter implements a kind of popularity/rating system.  Unlike /. (does that count?), the topics aren’t all tech-related and Linux-biased.
