Here's a great new feature in the latest release of Firefox: Mozilla Firefox's Live Bookmarks. If you are running the new preview release of Firefox, an RSS button will appear in the bottom left of your browser when on the Kairosnews home page. Click on it to add a "live bookmark" Kairosnews folder to your bookmarks which will contain the titles of the latest headlines from Kairosnews. This is a great feature for those that don't want to deal with a news aggregator but would like to subscribe to just a few sites. Note that you can add a site manually even if it does not automatically generate the live bookmarks link in your browser.

Live Bookmarks vs. Sage
have you used the Sage extension? More to the point...have you seen any way to do sort of a mix of the two? Sage is an extension which operates out of the bookmarks manager, and you can set bookmarks to rss feeds. when you click on a feed, it pulls the recent items into your browser window in a nice array of boxes....So I read the kairosnews feed that way.
the live bookmarks is differeent (as far as i can tell) in that it pulls the subject lines into the side panel, but you don't get a way to read all the blurbs at once, you have to click a title to go to that page.
Each is a great extension, but I'm hoping to see them merged. (Ah..would that I knew the first thing about writing extensions, eh?)

I've tried Sage, but prefer my news aggregator on cyberdash.
