Google loves to announce new developments on its profusion of official blogs. Keeping up with the blogs is easy--if you're interested in only a small fraction of the online giant's activity. But dealing with the full arsenal of dozens of Google blogs can be taxing.

Google's fix for the plight: more Google technology. The company announced late Sunday what amounts to a channel changer for its iGoogle customized home page service, a Google blogs gadget that gives quicker access to the full list of Google blogs. Think of it as special-purpose RSS feed reader.

Also new is a site that lists all Google blogs, subdivided into five categories.
