Time-saving question – News Aggregation

Here’s the scenario:

• ”Dave” links to Amy with this post.
  
• I want to start reading Amy’s weblog regularly.

Are these my choices?   ”qbullet.help”

1. Go to Amy’s weblog, bookmark it and go back there from time to time.
   
2. Go to Amy’s weblog, look for the XML coffee mug & subscribe.
   
3. Go to NewsIsFree and prowl through it to see if Amy’s weblog has been syndicated, if so subscribe and start seeing updates in my aggregator.
   
4. Go to Syndic8 and do the same as in step 3.
   
5. Set a navigator link at my own site and visit the link from time to time.

Is there a more effective way to do this stuff? Are there clever features that people are using that I’ve overlooked? Is this where the RSSDistiller comes into play if Amy’s not syndicated on NewsIsFree and Syndic8? How do you quickly take in 50-100 sites a day? Can you?
