Fetch! Good boy, BlogRovr.

I like new and useful gadgets and software--no Luddite here. When Blogger for Word was interrupted, my feelings were hurt, because I enjoyed and used it a lot. However, there may still be hope, if talented programmers like the following keep at work on their ideas.

BlogRovr is a new application out for bloggers, or anyone else, that is very interesting. I am just starting to experiment with it and so have yet to be able to sing its praises, but the technology is promising, at the least.

The general idea behind BlogRovr is that you can get related blog write-ups delivered straight to you at the desktop WHILE you are reading another article or page at that instant. Kind of a servant who says, "If you are enjoying this, might I also suggest....?" Rather a novel idea (no pun intended).

My thought was an immediate, "Hey! This could help me keep up more easily on what others are doing in almost ANY field, including authoring." The potential seems immense, does it not? I am anxious to see what happens with this and look forward to your responses, should you also try it out.
