6. Bloglines: Bloglines allows users to create their very own page with the freshest content from the blogs they follow.
7. Eurekster: Eurekster is a personalized search engine that allows users to define searches based on their own tastes. Just like Newsvine, users get a of advertising revenue that their searches generate.
8. Simply Hired Simply Hired is job search made simple... realllllly simple! It searches other job websites to find your perfect job. If I were looking for a job, I'd start with Simply Hired. Forget about Monster!!!
9. Technorati: I'm sure all bloggers have heard of Technorati by now. If you haven't, then ya gotta stop blogging.
