Fred Wilson's News Network
Last night Fred Wilson went on a bit of a tirade on twitter about his desire for a good news aggregator for his favorite blogs.

socialmedian presents the Fred Wilson News Network.
It has a running summary of posts from Fred's favorite blogs (we started with the blogs he mentions above), with a stored continuous search on key topics.
New blogs can be added as sources. Only the blogs entered will be searched.
Topics can be added/voted on/edited/deleted.
Members of the Network can clip stories to highlight them to other users, comment on them, email them, share them, etc.
Right now, anyone can join this News Network, as all socialmedian News Networks are currently "public." In the near future, we'll also enable Fred to make this a private network (if he so desires) and only include certain people in it.
If you would like to check out Fred Wilson's News Network on socialmedian, I've opened up 50 new alpha invites for socialmedian using the code "fredwilson" -- just go to www.socialmedian.com, click on "create an account" and enter the code "fredwilson" to get started.
