I use Google Reader, to subscribe to individual feeds, or planets ie:
planet.gnome, etc.
I haven't heard of bloglines, but I will give it a look.

What I find easy about planets, is that you can just subscibe to it
and get all the good stuff at once, while if I went through searching
for tags 'vim' etc, I would have to hand-pick them myself, 'cause some
RSS feeds are not user oriented, like a linux distro, management
system may provide info for an vim meant only for maintainers etc as
an example.

Plus, users who don't have a web based RSS aggregator, can just browse
it for fun :)

I'm glad that you mentioned bloglines and I can give it a look. Can it
do the stuff that I mentioned above?


You are right. I have another idea :-)
Lets just mention all vim related blogs in this thread and then people
can add them to their rss aggregators themself.
