New Hub for Hacks - Freshblog

Volker Lehmann has developed a very cool feed hub for Blogger hacks that pulls feeds from 9 of the usual suspects & displays the content all on a single page. Click the magnifying glass / plus sign icon to expand the post you're interested in. You can see what's hot in the hackosphere with one click. All v. non-plagiaristic too, since Volker asked permission, links to both source blog & source feed in each box's header, and doesn't carry links over into his reproduced posts. A fine resource, w/ space for expansion & the addition of other sources.

Oh, and another great incentive to write descriptive, explanatory post titles!

Hey John,

thanks for posting my website. I really feel honoured. Of course without your great feeds, my page wouldn't be anything! So thank you for that.

Have a nice weekend and keep in touch,

Volker

Hrm... this would be a lot more useful if you could click on the title and be taken to the post's page itself. Right now the posts sort of show up as an uninterrupted stream of green text.

I realize it's mostly to showcase the feeds (and looking I'm already subscribed to most of them) but it would be an even better resource if browsing were possible.
