The best UI for reading blogs is LiveJournal. You get to view your friends' updates and news updates at the same time in one easy to view page regardless of where you are, what computer you're using or what browser you're wielding.

No one wants a simultaneous view of email because it's all spam. When email stops being synonymous w/ spam, then people might be interested, but until then, we're stuck w/ gmail...

What you describe for LiveJournal sounds just like what NewsGator does with their online service.

I actually get very little spam through hotmail, and virtually none at work.

Google before commenting, when will I learn? >_<

You're absolutely right, the only advantage LJ has in this situation, I think, is one less link when I want to comment on someone's LJ story.

I left hotmail because of spam, if they've improved, I'll have to check it out...

I was using SpamAssassin and Entourage's junk mail filter before I switched to Hotmail. When I switched, my junk mail went down by at least an order of magnitude. I get just a couple spam messages into my in box a day, and a dozen or so into my junk mail folder.

I have a premium MSN account. I don't know if the junk mail protection is different for premium accounts.

Some colleagues think http://www.pluck.com is quite invasive in i.e., but I rate it highly.
