Aggregators and Information Overload

Dennis M. Kennedy has written an article on news aggregators and how they reduce information overload. File...print. A quote from the concluding paragraph:

"For years I’d looked for a tool that would keep me better informed and more in control of the tidal wave of information I receive. I knew the world had changed the first morning that I checked my news aggregator before I checked my e-mail box. My news aggregator has dramatically changed the way I deal with information, especially developments that affect my practice, in a manner that is extremely positive and productive. You, too, should seriously consider taking a test drive with these new tools. They will help you where you need it on a daily basis and give you a greater sense of control—and that’s something all of us can use." (link via Virtual Chase)

What free aggregator is the very easiest to get started with the least number of intermediary steps and is web based without any necessary downloading?...

I don't know about easier or least number of steps, but the web-based aggregator I use is newsisfree.com, and you don't have to download anything.
