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.
