I’ve just signed up for Kinja, a new weblog aggregator that launched yesterday. Weblog aggregators grab the latest posts from all the sites you’ve chosen, so you can read the new stuff from your favorite blogs all on one page. Kinja has an elegant layout, and a blog doesn’t need to have an RSS feed in order for Kinja to recognize it.
I’m having trouble with the bookmarklet, though. I use the Google popup blocker, and unless I temporarily disable it (by pressing the Control key at the same time as I click on the bookmarlet link), the bookmarklet doesn’t work. Can any of my readers help me out with this?
The coolest thing to me about Kinja so far is the icon they’ve chosen to represent my site:
Too cute.
I wonder if I would like something like that – taking the content out of the website. I haven’t used RSS aggregators much yet because I still like the experience of actually going to the blogger’s website. I think if I didn’t come to your site to read your writings, I would feel like I was missing something. The Tin Man website with the white background, the simple layout, the logo, the fonts, etc. It’s all part of the experience you set up for your readers. I’m still enjoying the experience of coming here.
