Scott of Regator has sent me a log-in to the private beta of their service - a start up blog aggregator. Have had a look around and it looks really good. Nice user interface and interaction design. I think a lot of work has gone into the categorisation of channels, despite the fact I could not find a “New Media Communications” channel to log Lucindigo and had to settle for Occupations –> Media –> Publishing. I may have overlooked this though.
What I like about it is the exposure it provides to fresh, high quality content. A good service to use if you want to work on expanding your reading list.
The What’s Hot function is cool. Shows you what those interested in any particular topic are talking about in the Blogosphere at any one time E.g. Today in SEO… Today in Pop Culture…
I recommend checking it out when it opens up to public, especially if you are new to Blogging and don’t obsessively use and adore a specific RSS Reader. Readwriteweb called it “mainstreaming RSS” which I thought captured the concept well.
