When I first started using a RSS Reader I used Bloglines.
It served me well for a number of years; then they started having service outages. That drove me mad so I changed to Google. In fact, I think that I used Google reader seriously before Gmail.
However, this appeared in my Google Reader today…
Apparently, this is because everyone wants their news via Twitter and Facebook.
Really?
Personally, Facebook is nowhere close to replacing my use of Google Reader. For me, Bloglines died because when I look at the screenshot. Nothing has changed since I logged off years ago.
UPDATE: My account still exists! 13,400 outstanding items to read!
