Bloglines (beta.bloglines.com) is another feed aggregator which you access through your web browser. After you create a free account, you can search for the content you are interested in (we'll come to how to find feeds later) and identify RSS feeds you want to read. Once you subscribe to those feeds (with a single-click in most cases), Bloglines will constantly check the feeds for changes or additions and direct new content onto your personal Bloglines page which you can access from any computer with an internet connection.

Another nice feature of Bloglines is a free easy subscription bookmarklet which you can install on your browser by dragging and dropping a link. After that, whenever you encounter a web page with an RSS feed you would like to subscribe to, simply click the bookmarklet and you're subscribed.

Bloglines is developing a beta version which introduces improved features and functionality.
