What’s up with Bloglines?

Bloglines Logo

Am I the only one who feels that Bloglines service has slowed down in recent times? I have 200+ feeds in Bloglines, and I get the feeling that it takes longer for Bloglines to show the updated feeds.

If that’s not enough, there are many more ‘planned’ outages at Bloglines. Check Bloglines News page and you will find that there is downtime planned this evening (22nd July 05) as well. Other outages were on
19th July 2005 (unexpected outage)
17th July 2005 (expected downtime)
26th June 2005 (Post about repeated outages)

I can understand that they have huge user base but c’mon, two planned downtime in 5 days (17th July and 22nd July) ? I can’t help but feel that this might have to do something with Ask.com acquistion.

    Nope, you’re not the only one.

    I’d imagine that, with their purchase, they are investing in infrastructure and working out the kinks. Same with del.icio.us.

    I have tried to evaluate FeedDemon number of times but somehow I am not able to get myself to like it. I think I am so used to Bloglines, I can’t go to metaphor of channels and group ‘newspaper’. It just feels wierd to me.
