First, BlogBridge is recruiting subject matter experts who want to put together sets of feeds on a topic. For example, Amanda Watlington is aggregating feeds on search engine optimization. Second, BlogBridge now lets you create "smartfeeds," feeds made of other feeds based on rules you specify. E.g., you could ask to see all the feeds you currently subscribe to that use a particular keyword. Or, you can have it fetch tagged feeds from the likes of del.icio.us, findory, flickr and technorati. I've been using BlogBridge as my main aggregator for a few months now, and I'm happy with it. Yes, there are a couple of edges that I consider rough, but BB is free, it's open source, and I've known Pito long enough to know he's a really good guy. [Technorati tags: blogbridge rss] Posted

Not to nitpick,, but it's not just for Windows. Mac OS X and Linux are also supported :-)

I'm finding the default text not so easy to read. Maybe I just haven't tinkered with it enough.
I like the idea of being able to sort for tags, keywords, ranking by users, etc., within the aggregator rather than having to switch to Technorati or something else.
Looks promising. I haven't given up, but if I can't get the text to display better, I can see myself moving on to another tool.

It's a problem with Java's font support. But under prefs there's a setting for higher res fonts. That worked for me.
