Great news - TechNation Australia has been added to Regator.

Regator is a filtered social RSS aggregator that has received a lot of good press for its completeness as an easy-to-use feed reader which has the potential to take RSS away from the geeks and out to the masses.

The site has an editor selected list of approximately 3000 feeds, broken into channels, then uses a nice layout and AJAX to make it simple to use.

Stories on Mashable, TechCrunch, ReadWriteWeb and ArsTechnica (as some examples) all seem to be feeling the hybrid social voting/edited list approach. It’s true that the site may not be perfect for heavy-duty RSS users, but that doesn’t appear to be their target market - the goal is clearly to make RSS more user friendly and they do a good job of it.

Best bit though is that one of the founders, Scott Lockhart is an Aussie, which is why we’re proud to be supporting them and also to have them support us.

Check it out if you have some time.
