Hooked on Original Signal
It is part of my morning routine to see what is happening in the Web 2.0 space by going to Original Signal. It is a news aggregator that is categorized by subject and they take the feeds from some of the most popular sites. TechCrunch, 37Signals, Mashable and more are all sorted by recent post titles with a little ajax summary of each post during a cursor rollover.
I really want to know the amount of traffic that these types of sites drive to the popular blogs. It is kind of like the rich get richer or the popular get more popular when they attract aggregators.

We Bliggy guys are really digging that pink logo, right? I like this site a lot, but having a design background I always feel compelled to comment on logos. In this case, I liked their old logo better. It was this retro radio tower with the waves beaming from the top of it. Their new logo seems like a step back. Still, a great site though. I was really hooked on them until I discovered Netvibes…and Netvides will change your life. I named my netvibes “Blake’s Existence.” It checks my mail, my feeds, waters the lawn and rotates my tires. bk
