News.com Newsburst

News.com has a new(?) service called Newsburst, which I liken to a pseudo-RSS-aggregator. It gives you a bunch of recommended news sources, but you can also add RSS feeds you find on the web by pasting their URL into a box.

It’s similar to Google’s Personalized Home page, except that it’s just news and RSS feeds, and it’s got a more distinct look.

Speaking of Google, does Google Reader work? While writing this story I loaded it up and it’s still telling me I “recently subscribed” to stuff I added weeks ago.

Anyway, I like Newsburst.

  • Yea…I played with Google Reader for like 10 minutes and couldn’t make sense of it at all so I gave it up. Probably the first of the new Google apps that they totally bombed.
