Bloglines: The Best News Reader

Sections: Software — Posted @ 12:00 pm by Chris

I was searching for a better news reader a couple of days ago since my current (now previous) one wasn’t living up to my expectations. During my search I came across a unique solution called Bloglines.

This service is a web site that you join and it aggregates all of your news feeds for you. You just simply go to www.bloglines.com/myblogs to get a list of your feeds and how many unread posts you have. And, because Bloglines constantly checks your feeds for you, you will never miss a posting.

Bloglines includes many other features you can’t get in a software based new reader. You can see how many people have subscribed to your feeds and what they have subscribed to. You can search or browse massive directories of blogs other people have joined. You can get lists of the top blogs. You can share your blog list with other people, for example mine is at: http://www.bloglines.com/public/caladd You can even have Bloglines create your own blog, but I haven’t personally tried this feature.

Overall, this service is absolutely amazing. I usually don’t care for web based services like this but Bloglines has simply done a great job. Best of all, it is FREE. So, don’t wait, sign up right now at: http://www.bloglines.com/

  1. If you like bloglines, check out their WAP site at the same URL. It’s the most addictive thing I’ve ever found on a phone — like a personalized mobile magazine rack.
