If only my filing system could be this organized! Google Reader is the Symbaloo for blogs and other information. This aggregator is a service connected to google and gmail that helps the "blogger" organize the blogs they follow. In Google Reader there are various panels on the left-hand side that shows the subscriber what blogs they subscribe to. It even allows you to search for the people you subscribe or don't subscribe to who may be in Reader. If you're feeling adventurous, Reader suggests items and sources that fit your interests based upon your subscriptions and information. Reader even has a tracking system called "Trends" in which you're able to see your activity, the activity of those you subscribe to and the trends of the friends in your contact list. Google Reader, through its "Browse for stuff" tab, allows people to search for feeds that spark their interest; whether it is a news feed or sports feed, it filters your request to fit your need. The main screen shot of google reader includes new posts from your blog subscriptions as well as a sneak peak into the blogs.
