Another major directory of RSS feeds. It lets you look through thousands of RSS feeds that users have submitted or which have been added by volunteers to its collection. In other words, it's an Open Directory for RSS feeds.

Technorati is a great service. Plug in the URL of any web page, and you can quickly see what bloggers are saying about it by using the Link Cosmos feature. The Breaking News feature assembles top headlines automatically -- but these headlines come from blogs, rather than traditional news sources.
