[...] How do I know? Because I’m expecting a new article from 24 Ways each morning and I haven’t been seeing them on Bloglines for the past few days. I’m not the only one having problems (via CrunchNotes): Bloglines seems to be in a general state of decline. Other RSS readers (Rojo, Yahoo, Attensa, BlogBridge, tons more) are innovating and gaining users at Bloglines’ expense. No new features worth mentioning. I hate to see a service I love fade like this. [...]

[...] I have to admit, I was hoping for the best but feared the worst as Bloglines moved over to a new data center last night. Their regular outages have enraged me in the past, although their stellar customer service almost completely made up for it (emails are returned instantaneously). [...]

[...] It seems that other people are experiencing the same weird problems with Bloglines — see “Ahhh Bloglines, Do You Still Care?” on CrunchNotes. I think I’m just going to wait and see if these problems persist, or if they’re resolved in the next few weeks. In the meantime, I logged in today and was greeted by TechCrunch posts from Monday and Tuesday, which I have already read. Thank you, Bloglines. [...]

All the desktop aggregators are fine, but I need a web-based solution. I don’t like the way Rojo or SearchFox works or any of the other web solutions I’ve found (though NewsAlloy *might* be OK) – I keep on using bloglines and I haven’t had any troubles with feeds or reliability. There are a mmillion ways I would improve it, but nothing yet comes close to the convenience.

I’ve just started having this problem where Bloglines isn’t showing that there are new posts to read even though there are. In fact, this feed hasn’t shown up with anything new to read until today and you posted this almost a week ago. I’m getting more and more tempted to try something else.

[...] I was reading at CrunchNotes about everyone’s gripes about Bloglines and I’m wondering if I should look into switching. I’m not sure I really want to … I do have some of the same gripes – as I’ve mentioned before – but I’m a creature of habit … I like learning new things, but who’s to say anything else will be better? • • • [...]

It would be okay with me if Bloglines stayed the same as long as it were reliable. For the past week I’ve suspected that the feeds weren’t working right and some tests last night prove it.

I’m liking Microsoft’s Live.com beta. It was really easy for me to add feeds and so far they’ve been pretty reliable…I may make a switch all the way over to theirs if Bloglines doesn’t fix their feeds so that I can rely on them.

This would have been a good opportunity for rojo but they are currently down.

I also switched from Bloglines to Rojo after it took far too many emails, patience and time with Bloglines’ “support”, to delete old feeds and reindex my blog’s feeds.

Remembering this nice article here http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/has_bloglines_d.php there where a lot of suggestions for Bloglines – and what did they do? Nothing. Ok, keyboard shortcuts, while people wanted tags, the ability to post to their own blogs, full text search, etc…
