Topix is an interesting news website with all manner of information for savvy readers. The three major headlines on the front page:
-Pakistan's Bhutto Assassinated in Attack (capitalised for effect, in case people don't realise it's Big News)
-Escaped tiger kills SF Zoo patron, injures two (I'm guessing it's referring to San Fransisco, not Sci-Fi)
-I did not support Hitler, says Will Smith (glad THAT dispute's been settled)
Both Topix and Technorati are fairly good news websites, although I would prefer to read The Age or BBC websites over them both. Technorati has feeds from several different news websites, allowing the reader to acquire a more succinct idea of what's actually going on through cross-examination.
Syndicate looks like t could be useful, although to be honest I don't see how it is really any better than a basic Google search or a Favourites list. This might just be an artifact of my own searches, but I found that many feeds were 'Awaiting Approval' and very few actually 'Syndicated'. With a bit more work this site should prove useful and gain popularity, but for my needs it's sadly inept.
