Freshblogs allows you to set up a list of blogs you watch. It then keeps track of which was updated last, and allows you to publish the resulting list to your site.
I’m only just starting to test it, but it does seem interesting!

B.
I’m another Freshblogs user. I like it, but I must say they need to put a
bit of effort into documentation. None of their publishing methods is
self-explanatory (I ran into the same apparent bug with munging the host
and path in the FTP upload). When I realized that the watchlist is not
behind a password I wrote my own cronjob to pull my watchlist rather than
relying on them to push it with FTP or HTTP.
I’m still mystified as to what causes the watchlist to be updated; they
say elsewhere that
they do watch weblogs.com but supplement that with “trained monkeys
implementing a top-secret algorithm”. Which I would find an adequate
explanation except that my watchlist has stayed static all morning, when I
can see for myself thatsome sites have had updates since the times
reported by Freshblogs. The trick they mention in their FAQ of using Edit Template to
force the watchlist to be “re-serialized” doesn’t seem to have any effect.
Hopefully it’s all stuff that will shake out shortly.
Of course, about ten minutes after I posted that, my watchlist updated
itself. Go figure.
