To update my earlier post:
RSS is excellent for realtime feeds and links to such. RSS is also good at the auto-update/download feature when a site changes content you are monitoring. There are a gazillion free and pay-for RSS readers.

And, if you use Outlook a lot, NewsGator and IntravNews are 2 plug-ins that install on top of Outlook and provide RSS feeds, with full content, right into Outlook folders for reading anytime. You have typical preview content by feed, and full read capabilities -- each site's RSS feed is like a new email. You thus avoid having to maintain and use yet another application.

You can try out both for free. I found NewsGator's grouping by topic functions lacking. I have not tried IntravNews yet but it is getting a lot of good press.
