Search here for CG-FeedRead – I haven’t got the url handy.
That FeedRead is probably worth a shot.
I use Carp on my blog, which is probably overkill.
I pull feeds from sites I find interesting to create a sort of “home page” for myself:

I’ve used CG-FeedRead in the past, and it works a treat!

I’ve had a few successful ventures into RSS feeds. Thanks for the additional seeds.
I guess that the Q I’m more interested in is the whole process. How do folks read, filter/summarize, then get the summary to their blog, of their favorite RSS feeds..
I’ve looked a bit further into NewsGator Online. They seem to be able to read feeds, then “clip” the posts of interest. The “clips” folder can be RSS’d. I think that may be my solution for now, but I’m all ears for other methods.
Ohh hey kayaker, I didn’t realize that was your post too.
To set up a “Master/Main” blog using Carp, that gathers posts from the “subblogs”, here is what you would do … note, this may take a little work:
1) Set up all your blogs
2) Install Carp to the “Master” blog (note, this “Master” blog doesn’t even really need it’s own database, in fact, it would be harder if it had one).
3) Now read this page on Carp site telling you how to “mix” all the feeds together, to output them based on date (assuming this is what you want).

4) You may or may not want to change your WP settings to output the entire Post, and not just a summary, for it’s feeds.
5) If you do 4, you may want to make a copy of wp-feeds file, and tweak it … and tell Carp to use this file … other people would continue to use wp-feeds and get just the summaries, not the full posts.
That’s an outline.
Carp can also filter feeds based on keywords.
See example here:

Finally, as an adendum …
With this sort of setup, when people are on the “Main” blog, and click the post link, it will take them to the “subblog” … hopefully this is o.k.
Getting around this would be harder work.
Just like my feeds page takes you to the BBC or where ever.
Note, i just have mine setup to output just the headline , not the summary.
