Much has been said already in this thread about the subscription
process, but less about the problem of actually consuming the
suscribed information.

I just came across a RSS aggregator developed by the people at Raskin
Center for Humane Interfaces  - the Humanized Reader. Their main
design goal is that reading an aggregator be as simple as reading a
blog.

Unfortunately, they have a fixed choice of news feeds - it doesn't
allow creation of user accouns (yet?).
