I'm fascinated with RSS news and the ways people consume information. I've recently delved into the world of bloglines, and I must say, it's becoming very useful. I currently read 31 blogs a day. Using bloglines, I was able to skim over all of them this morning in about 5 minutes. 5 minutes to stay on top of the world's news, technology news, design news, church news (leadership, technology, etc.), and family / friend news. Yeah, it's working for me. (and as an added bonus, on the right side of this page, you can see the blogs that I'm currently reading... fed from bloglines).

In my skimming today, I came across this. Speakwire actually translates the text content of your RSS news into audio for you to listen to. Why bother reading when you can have a computer read to you?

Well, for one, it sounds really creepy. (Meg, I wouldn't visit this site if I were you). Two, it's faster to read and skim. Still, it's a good effort and worth a visit.
