Arrhhhh!!!
Why is bloglines failing me? I like many others love the convenience of bloglines for keeping all my feeds together, and I therefore keep up to date with all of the blogs that I follow. But for some reason it has started to rebel against me. I know I have a lot going on in there, but I am sure I am not a power user if such thing exists.
It has been totally overlooking some people’s posts, even dropping feeds altogether. Why bloglines why! I trusted you! And now I what shall I do … I am not about to start doing things manually, but my work blocks Google reader, does anyone know of any other decent ways to keep track?
P.S. If you feel I have been ignoring you lately, I apologise and blame it all on bloglines! Give me a kick and I will ensure it is back in there

I use Google Reader, as thankfully, it isn’t blocked, so I have no other thoughts. You are the second blogger who has mentioned a bloglines issue, though…

Sorry I can’t help – I also use Google Reader and have never had any issues.

I was just about to suggest Google Reader, as it’s what I use. Sorry I don’t have another suggestion!

Oh, I don’t do anything fancy. I just visit my favorites and if there is something new I read/comment and then if there isn’t I move on.
I’m low tech, LOL.

I use Bloglines too……maybe I should pay attention more!
I did notice last week when it didn’t recognize new posts, but only that one day. Are you still having issues?

Steve uses a Windows Live reader I think it is? It’s just like the google reader.

All: Bloglines seems to be working again for now, so will stick with it. Just be aware that if I seem suspiciously absent for a while, give me a nudge and I will likely blame it on Bloglines (convenient … no?). At some stage I will get around to writing a mac client to the RSS reader I wrote a number of years back for scraping Helen’s blog for reading off-line, but for now I will have to stick with what I have got.

Hmmm… I tend to do all of this kinda thing manually, which is just the way I like it. It forces me to check others’ blogs often.

Tony: I am not into the whole Free Range blogg reading … I like mine to be cooped up and ready to consume

Perhaps have a look at these. I am assuming you are a Windows user, if not there is a load for Linux and OSX as well. I personally use FeedDemon.

jono: I am PC at work, but Mac at home, so I need a solution that works cross platform. I wrote a PC client a number of years back to scratch an itch as they say, but my needs have changed. I want to keep track at home and work, so a web app meets this need, but a nice client that worked on bot would be nice, but I think I’ll end up writing one myself as I am picky like that.

I’m sorry, but did I just read a Geek speak to another Geek in what seemed like English but not quite?!!!
Ha ha ha ha…

But what you couldn’t here Daisy was the binary encoded carrier signal that was hidden in the data stream. Haha.
Bottom Feeder is a good cross-platform solution, but IKWYM about writing your own. I started a while back but like many of my projects it is not finished.

Oh trust me, I think I saw the data stream.. it looked a bit like in the matrix, no?
And.. I’m so proud of myself, I figured out “IKWYM” stood for, and I’m still stunned…. geeks really do like to mess with writing their own stuff to get things just right.
