I use a
http://my.yahoo.com page for my news. The new beta has recently added the ability to have "news" from other non-Yahoo! sites (and non-syndicated material) via RSS feeds. So you can now have your Slashdot or Wired or whatever-is-published-as-an-RSS feed stuff on one single (or even multiple, if you lay it out that way) page. It's quite handy. I think eventually all forums and the like will have RSS feeds (though Jason is such a great admin that he got us a feed long before most other forums! Miata.net and other sites are likely to add them in the future, but they don't have them yet).
You can also install your own "news aggregator" software that checks your RSS feeds and manages everything for you, though I find the stuff on Yahoo! more than sufficient already.
