C-Net launches Newsburst RSS portal

Friday, February 11th, 2005

Newsburst is a personalized tool that tracks virtually any type of information on the Web: news, blogs, shopping lists, weather, search results, alerts, auctions and more.

Check out the preview release, it’s pretty neat..

Along the same lines; BlogLines.com was recently acquired by AskJeeves.com and is in many ways similar to Newsburst, although I think the later has a more clear interface and concept.
