A few months back I left Radio news aggregator behind: it wasn’t scaling anymore. I tried several news aggregators, but ended up with Bloglines, mainly because I need it from work, from home and from all those strange places where I get online when travelling.
Recently Bloglines selebrated one year anniversary and updated their interface. Between all other things they added three had a lot of impact on me:
- mark unread option that I was dreaming about to make sure that I can find back posts that need more time to read without bookmarking them
- unsubscribe option that helps me cleaning my scary 200+ blogs reading list
- number of subscribers shown for every feed
The last one got me really scared when I found out that number of subscribers for my weblog is three times higher than I expected. The feeling reminds me the similar one when I realised I was in Google:
It’s not funny. It’s nice at the beginning to see your name at the top. It takes a lot of courage later to continue writing. Just because you feel that you are in the “spot-light”.
