News Aggregators?
After a year of tinkering with blogs and other such things, I am now trying to get more serious about working with and learning from these technologies. I have played with a few news aggregators but have not found one that really suits me.
My requirements: I want it to be simple and intuitive, web-based (no client install required so I can access behind a draconian firewall while at work), and stable. The ones I have played with so far include Amphetadesk, Feedster (which seems to be having some technical problems at this time), Sharp Reader (not web-based), and a hand-held version for my Treo600 called Handheld Headlines from Stand Alone, Inc.
This morning I started playing with Bloglines and, so far, I like what I see. Any idea about others I should be looking at?

oops. You wanted web-based. Here is another option: MyYahoo has a new beta of its news aggregator:
