How to keep up with dozens of websites

I've been using Bloglines for quite some time now, and I gotta say, it's an amazing way to keep up with tons of websites through a single interface.

Here's a great article that shows how bloglines can keep track of it all for you....

Don't want to give "the man" your email address?

Want to install that software, or read that webpage, but they require an email address? If you don't want to give it to them, but still need to get information from whatever they are going to send you, here's a great solution:

DodgeIt is a site that just allows you to receive email from an anonymous account. Just tell them a made-up address like dontbotherme@dodgeit.com. Then go to DodgeIt, and type in that email. You can retrieve the email, and not be bothered by them again!

*updated* Spamhole.com is a similar site, but with this one, you create a temporary address that will forward to your regular email address for 2 hours. Haven't tried it yet, but it sounds a bit better since people can't go fishing to read your email like they can on Dodgeit.

*updated again* pookmail.com is yet another site that is like DodgeIt. What's even better is that all emails to that account are deleted after 24 hours - so you don't ever leave any account details to others "fishing" for accounts, etc.
