bloggin outta control

if you can't get enough blog-ness (i sure can't), check out kinja (how one comes up with a name like that is anyone's guess), a newly unveiled (circa 4/1/04) blog aggregator that has a convenient digest form of popular writings organized around hot topics (tech, politics, etc). very clean

(update - greg.org guesses it might come from kinjo which means neighborhood in japanese)

so ppl can create their own collections of rss feeds, follow their favorite blogs in one place but the the new idea here is to showcase these digests to ur friends, to the whole world.. not bad (i put mine together hastily but it works - link below)

it's pretty big in the "blog world" (does the world blogosphere scares u?), since prominent blogheads are behind it (nick denton of gawker and meg hourihan of "the" blogger). it's made the rounds but i just hopped onto it. some early reviews complain about limited configuration options for the "power" user but the concensus is that this site will make blogs even more accessible

logos always intrigue me, i'm not sure how this one came about
get ur free accounts, or just check it out


Update
One thing missing from this site is the ability to view your favorite sites and their last articles, since everything is lumped together in chronological order. Makes it simple but less complete imo


Update 2
Similar competing (and apparently predating) service is offered by bloglines, it's not as pretty but more functional, check on it
