I have always had my favorite sites to scrape daily for information, but now that I am doing CA/CA full time I have increased my sources a hundred fold. Subscriptions were jamming the e-mail box,,,I thought if only I had a twitter feed for each so I can just get the 144 characters I need, then dig in if I need. The answer: esobi. Its an RSS feed Reader. There are free ones out there, Igoogle is about as good as any, but I wanted the ability to alert, store, and wanted massive amounts,,, and have them avaialbe offline when I travel.. Seems to be working well. Drawback: YOu need an RSS or XML feed to use. What do you all use?

Well said Lance! The irony of CI is that, strategically, it's often best to ignore your competition and concentrate on getting your own act together.
