If you have not heard about Klipfolio yet, you need to head over to their site and check it out. I consider it to be an information aggregator on steroids. Though somewhat overdone, flexibility is not lacking in that application. I have written a very small (and simple) script that allows the addition of a “Klip” of your WordPress blog for consumption by the Klipfolio application.
