Good Idea!

Michelle had an idea for a 'Chuckle Button' that could be added to blog templates. Many people read blogs every day and think "That post was cute, but I really have no comment to leave."

Well how about a chuckle button? Granted, there are things like Digg, but who wants to create an account and log in?

There may be something like this already - is it the 'Like' button? Don't you have to be logged in for that to work as well?

No accounts, no logging in, I say!

You could click the chuckle button and the chuckle counter would increment, and the writer would know that somewhere, there was one more person who enjoyed their silly little words.

Help, Internet!

I've been using iGoogle for the past few months to keep track of blogs, because all too often, people don't update, and I'd end up going to each blog, just to find out if there was a new post or not.

Unfortunately, when I started using iGoogle, I started reading the blogs from the iGoogle page, instead of navigating to the blog itself. I'd think of a comment to leave, but promise myself I'd post it later (which I never did).

So I want to find something better - something that will show me a list of who's updated, without showing me any actual contents. I know lots of you guys use RSS and other tools, so let me know what you think would work in this situation.
