Webtools: Newsvine & Google Reader

There are many services out there that allow you to customize your news. Newsvine is one of the newest. One of its best features is that it allows you to write articles and build a name for yourself.

Another service, that you may know about, is Google's Reader. It can be used to read blogs or other sites. I use it.

Lastly, a semi-useful site that was recently featured on Rocketboom is PopUrls. It brings together popular stories/videos from other sites (including Newsvine) for quick access. More fun than legal, it will keep you on top of technical innovations, deals and timely factoids.
