Ah, Bloglines, check! I added a Sun-Sentinel feed; didn't know they were there. Cool. I remember when the New York Times added RSS feeds; they were the first major player to adopt RSS and it marked a turning point in the acceptance of the technology.
In the early days, most people thought RSS was useless. There's a chicken and egg problem will most social tools; they don't make sense until there are a lot of people using them, but people don't want to use them unless there are a lot of reasons to do so. Now it is obvious, what with podcasting (RSS with enclosures) and every media company in the world supporting feeds. Wasn't always so.
The person who did the most to make this week's technology happen is Dave Winer; his blog is http://scripting.com If I could only read one blog, I think that would be it. OK, slashdot. No, Winer. No, slashdot. Whatever.
The only good thing about blogging on the Bloglines platform (where I guess Susi is still stuck!) is that your blogroll was automatically created with all your Bloglines feeds. From here I have to point you to http://www.bloglines.com/public/richmonda but I'll warn you there's a lot of good stuff in there!

]\A Cappella News is actually pretty interesting. Are you a singer, too?
Nope, not a singer; just like many forms of music!
Somebody with as at least as many feeds as I have! Yay! Can't wait to go mining for good stuff.
