Surfing the web is hard work! Seriously, how much time do you spend googling, yahooing, stumbling around on other search engines, social sites, or other websites trying to find the knowledge and entertainment you desire? Every day a new website seems to come along that promises to keep you informed with the least amount of effort. Recently, Yahoo launched their buzz.yahoo.com service, and Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo each own or are looking to buy many social networks and RSS/ATOM feed services such as Digg.com, Feedster.com, Blogspot.com, etc.

While each of these sites has a learning curve, there is certainly a benefit to using each service. Depending on your need, you may find one service more useful than others.

However, these are not the only feed services out there. BlogProper.com is a recently launched Free RSS/XML/ATOM feed aggregation service that allows you to read and manage all your blog and website feeds in one place. While the addition of tabs in both Firefox and Internet Explorer, it is now much easier to keep track of what occurs on multiple sites. And many internet uses have installed desktop RSS feed aggregators. A great many internet users do not want to install an aggregator on their Desktop, and some of the online feed aggregator services are complicated to use.

At BlogProper.com, you can search through all previously added blog and website feeds, and save these feeds in your favorite items to keep track of them. When you want to add a blog or website’s feed that is not in our database, just copy and paste the feed’s url into the Add a Feed form on BlogProper.com and you instantly begin tracking every post from that site.
