Bye Bye Bloglines

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Read my top posts or learn more about Michael Gray. Want more frequent updates follow me on Twitter. Thanks for visiting!

I don’t know about you but I’ve been seeing this guy over at Bloglines a little too frequently lately. Yes I know they’ve been fixing things that are broken or other wise making improvements which is a good thing. However if you want to be a service that people can depend on, you have to be dependable above all else. I read and write blog postings regularly, and in many cases for mission critical business purposes. Since reading my feeds lies on the critical path, not being able to read my feeds on demand is unacceptable. However dependability isn’t the only reason I’m switching, the reporting is also iffy. Following some common blogging models, I like to post updates to my business blogs between 8am and noon EST. So I’ll send out 10-20 new blog posts a day across a series of blogs. Bloglines isn’t finding many of them until 6pm or later, again this just isn’t up to snuff.

Since I’m an online feed reader kind of guy I’m switching back to Sage. This isn’t personal it’s just business, and I’m not opposed to coming back and looking at bloglines in the future, they’ll just have to keep the plumber a little less visible.
