Part of blogging is knowing what’s going on. Whether you write on a blog or not, it is a wise business strategy to listen to the blogosphere. But how do you keep track of hundreds of feeds?

You use a news aggregator such as Bloglines. This is the tool I use since it is online - it’s great for me since I am often on different computers.

There is a very useful tutorial on how to set up Bloglines available from the betterdays blog. It will take you through basic steps, such as setting up your account, to subscribing to sites, tags, or even podcasts.

Some tools you may find useful in tracking are PubSub and Technorati - subscribe to words or URLs right in your Bloglines account.

If you have any questions on Bloglines, leave a comment. I am a big fan of it myself. Great tool (not perfect, but the best for a multi-computer person like me).
