But, considering your desk is like 5 feet from mine, you really just have to turn your head to the right a bit, and you'll see the blog as it's published. It's on my screens enough :-) That’s cool.

Everything looks the same to me in an RSS aggregator and it feels like I'm losing touch with unique "flavour" of each weblog. Sure, there's the "read more" links or whatever to read each article in its natural environment. But without the red boingboing logo, the picturesque banners at the top of this weblog, or the blueish-green and white colors of slashdot, it just becomes a big boring dump of information that feels like a chore to read through. So, thanks for the email subscription offer, but I'd rather enjoy the experience of reading each weblog for more than its raw content!
