Had to share this for 3 reasons:
1. I've always hated RSS feeds and feel like celebrating that we've gotten past them.
2. I really needed this round-up, and hope it helps you too.
3. All 10 of these apps are very cool.
Enjoy!

SOPA, PIPA Votes Indefinitely Delayed
Oh crap. Just when I thought I was up to speed on it ... SOPA, PIPA Votes Indefinitely Delayed
I'll bet the Wikipedia blackout was what got to 'em. Probably caused widespread chaos all over the Hill. I can see it in my mind's eye as if I were there ...
Congressman: "What does this S-O-P-A stand for again?
Aid: "Dunno. Hang on a second, let me check Wikipedia ... Hey! What the f---!?!"
Congressman: "Get me Reid's office -- this is gonna be a problem."

SOPA: A Mega, Meta Mashup Of News (Fast Company)
Trying to keep up with the SOPA maelstrom? Me too -- and it's really been painful.
Don't give up -- Fast Company has galloped in to the rescue. They've consolidated and constructed an entire overview article using links to the latest reporting and analysis and it's all right here: SOPA: A Mega, Meta Mashup Of News | Fast Company
Do yourself a favor and step away from the search engine and RSS feeds. Give this article a good read, maybe even click thru a couple of the links. It helps -- I finished it and felt much better.
And while you're thinking about it, leave a comment with your two cents on SOPA. What's good about it, what's bad about it and how do you think it will all shake out?
