Topix is del.icio.us
If you don't already use del.icio.us, then I'd say you're missing out on a pretty handy web tool. Aside from a comon place for me to keep bookmarks I can access from anywhere, I've found just as many excellent design-related resources on del.icio.us serendipitously, as I have after spending hours surfing my regular bookmarks.
The tags people use on del.icio.us say a lot about what people "think" of a certain site or page. Moreover, people add "user notes" to their bookmarks that give you even more insight. Here are a few of my favorites from the folks that have bookmarked Topix on del.icio.us:
"Topix.net provides an intuitive, easy way to find the targeted news that is relevant to you."
"Good news collection source. Looks cleaner than Google News"
"Every PR person and news junkie on the planet should be using Topix."
"Topix.net, possibly the most feature rich news search engine online already, has relaunched and looks very cool. The Topix index of 50,000 news sources is 10 times larger than the Google News index and 7 times as large as Yahoo! News."
Big up to Skrenta for sending this along via email.
