Syndication

Now that I have a wonderful new CMS able to produce RSS feeds, I have been looking for a way to use it. My idea is to create a page showing the latest headlines from some news sources (see the list in the side bar), so that I don't have to visit each site.

I have found some applications (so called news aggregators) which do this, but until now I haven't found a good web service offering the same service. I don't want to install an application, since I want to access this information both from home as from my work as well as when I am on holiday. My idea is that I don't have the same bookmarks on all those locations, and by offering a web page the information is always available.

NewsApp is the closest to my ideal I could find, but it lacks configurability and has the layout of an early alpha release.
