RSS readers have significantly streamlined the information coming my way. I used to spend a chunk of time "surfing"the sites that I was interested in keeping up with, ranging from news sites, to blog posts, to sports scores, to rumors about the iphone. All of this took time that is not a luxury for me with 2 young kids.
I went through and experimented with a variety of RSS readers and, after much frustration, found one that I really like and provides a great desktop client for both Mac and PC. Newsgator is an aggregator that is simple, easy, and effective. It provides a desktop client called "NetNewsWire"for the Mac and "FeedBurner"for the PC. I can subscribe to RSS feeds once aaccess them online via Newsgator, or via very user friendly desktop apps on the Mac or PC.
Check out this great aggregator here.
