I’ve come to depend quite heavily on my Bloglines account — it’s where I keep the people that teach me what I need to know, as well as what I need to need to know, if that makes sense.
My aggregator is the glue that holds all of my network together. When it works.
Has anyone else been having trouble with Bloglines recently? I’m logging on to find no feeds sometimes, or a messed up memory of what I have and haven’t read. I thought perhaps that the problem was me — but it isn’t. I’ve had the same issues on different computers and networks.
Sometimes it works, other times it doesn’t. Yuck. When my aggregator isn’t working, I’m lost.
I recognize that Bloglines is a free service, and that I’m getting way more than what I’m paying for, but I’ve come to count on the service. I need it to work. All of the time.
Help? I’d hate to move elsewhere. But I might have to.

I’m with you, man. I have seen that plumber guy one too many times already on the screen when checking my account. Maybe it will be smooth sailing again soon.
Yeah, I got that pretty much all day today. Unfortunately, I haven’t found another aggregator I like better–don’t even get me started on Netvibes…
Bloglines has been a little whacky for me lately too. Some of it is that some blogs in me feed-collection are switching to the new Blogger beta (at least that seems to be some of the problem).
I made the leap to Google Reader and haven’t looked back. It is clearly better in my opinion.
Glad it’s not just me. I noticed my feed burner reader icon drop 120 readers on Friday. After a little investigation I found that they were all Bloglines subscribers. Somethings up, looks like it happened Friday around midnight. If anyone finds out what the problem is, let me know.
Ah – it’s happening to someone else too. I thought it was something strange going on with the blogs I have subscribed too. Recently Bloglines will tell me that I have anywhere from 2 or 3 to 50 posts that I haven’t read. One or two I understand – if the author has modified them they are showing up as unread again – but 50?!
Same issue here Bud. Happened around last Wednesday. I emailed Bloglines about it today. Jeff Utecht’s issue has been resolved I think. Hopefully the same will happen for us as well.
