I got back to using Bloglines, after I found out that Google Reader purges updates older than a month. Bloglines was obviously not doing very well and has had awful performance the last couple of weeks which has let me to try out Fever. That is, if my server didn't crap out. Heck, I think Bloglines' beta has been around longer than Gmail was back in the days.
For long, I've regarded the RSS reader market something missing some great minds and ideas.
This also brings up the discussion of keeping your data online - not only my subscriptions, but also my pinned updates - and what can be done about it. This obviously can't be exported, sadly. Sometimes, I just want Apple and Google to try to do everything so I at least know that I'll at least have all of my data somewhere.
Speaking of back-ups and portability, Bloglines seem to have removed its option to export the subscriptions as OPML in favour of XML. Can anyone verify this? It's pretty annoying to say the least.
Hmm? OPML is XML. To export your subscriptions, log in and then visit http://www.bloglines.com/export. That URL is linked to at the bottom of your feed tree, under the name Export Subscriptions.
