I’ve been using Bloglines for my feed reading for a long time now. I like the web-based interface, and the mobile version was OK. Lately however I’ve been having issues with the service:
- some feeds simply aren’t shown as updated
- the mobile service used Skweezer to modify external pages, but Skweezer changed something at their end and it stopped working. I sent a bug report, but no response
- the mobile version started defaulting to the desktop version at startup
So I said “fsck it” and switched to Google Reader. It takes some getting used to (I miss being able to get to the next subscribtion in one keypress) and the mobile version is very different, but so far it works OK.
Lesson Bloglines can learn: don’t stop innovating, and listen to your customers.
