And not very engaging as an aggregator - no sense of the discussion, for example. Interesting - but not very user friendly from an UI standpoint, is it?

I stumbled upon a customised feed someone had made for FFFound! using them I come across neats bit of art all the time. To be honest, I'm not even sure how it works, but I'm assuming it can't be too hard. Also, Tumblr seems to have attracted a very artsy/intellectual userbase. I stumbled across http://avenues.tumblr.com , which is by a Torontonian and, through the incestuous Tumblr reblogging, found more. Daily Meh is a great one. And there's always the Fimoculous/Kottke/Waxy triumvirate, who seem equally interested in art and culture as they are in tech, but I'm sure you're well aware of that. Anyway - not exactly revelatory stuff, but it's how I've expanded beyond the usual tech circle. Rob, I think AideRSS might be useful.
