Regator takes a bite out of the blogoshpere
There are certainly plenty of blog directories and Digg type websites that tell you what the most popular or "best" news of the day is. Regator wants to join the fray.
Regator is a combination of a lot of different methods of news aggregation. Actual people do a lot of the work, reading through and finding blog posts they think are interesting to read. Those posts are sorted into almost 500 channels. Users can also submit items of interest and move things up the food chain by viewing, commenting and rating sites. The What's Hot list is then created with algorithms based on what users are looking at.
I found some really interesting stuff I hadn't seen so far in my daily web surfing by going into the Beijing Olympics Channel.
You can also use Regator as a feed reader, to make audio playlists and to share with friends on Facebook, etc. by registering for a free account.
If you don't already have a favorite place to find news or you're looking for a change, this might be something to check out. And, if your blog isn't on Regator, you can nominate it for coverage.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts.

Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.
They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...

nice work on regator Scott. here's something i'm looking for. a link to top stories by day. this is something digg lacks. sure I can click on the top 24 hours link in digg but suppose I'm away from the interent for a week and I want to check what were the top stories on a particular day in the past. also a most commented by day feature would be nice. maybe there is already a site that aggregates digg stories and top commented slashdot stories by day but I haven't come across any yet.
