How long does that take you? I start two programs opening (TB and my NG reader) 
and go chat with my boss at the start of each day. A few minutes later my 
computer shows me a list of everything I care about (except the sudo-forum 
Stackoverflow) and I can cull through that an a mater of a few minuets overhead. 
After that, I basically forget about it till something say I have something 
to look at.

Yes having more that one way to get your fix is wasteful but the first one 
to go for me is the /web based/ interfaces.
