Google Reader is free, fast and very smart

There's millions of blogs out there, and they're impossible to keep track of. Google Reader makes it easy. It's a simple page that you can bookmark and check every day. When a blog you like changes, Google Reader tells you. Click on the box, the post comes up and you're up to speed.

Because Google Reader uses RSS, you can track more than just about every blog. You can track company updates, searches, anything that features that little mysterious RSS symbol.
