Annoyances – Bloglines

For some reason Bloglines doesn’t appear to be catching my feeds. They catch them after at least 7 hours sometimes. All other feedreaders are doing a good job. My wonderful 107 (76+30+4-3) readers on Bloglines, please step out once in a while – I may have updated after all.

And you Bloglines? Shame on you!

PS – Yes I have written to them. Their responses seem to be a legacy factor from the Government of India.

  1. My wonderful 107 (76 30 4-3) readers on Bloglines, please step out once in a while – I may have updated after all.

    That’s a classic case of Catch-22.

  2. Adhe kiLLu!
    But if you ping in technorati, the bloglines lead time does reduce. But I find newshutch faster than bloglines :D

  3. F e r r a r i,
    Actually, I am fed up of bloglines’ slow updates too (and google reader doesn’t seem to be as astute).
    I just signed up for newshutch. But, is there an option to import all my feeds in one go? I couldn’t find it.

  4. Zero: After you signin, go to Manage- and it has a link for Export/ Import. Suggest you download a list of your feeds as an OPML file from Bloglines and then upload it at Newshutch.

    And yes – Catch 22 it is. :)

    Ferrari: Will try. But is annoying. Even if I have gradually moved away from Bloglines, a lot of people who read me read from there. Even I – with my miniscule readership – have a right to feel all bothered about it! Heh.

  5. Miniscule readership aa? :O Neenga romba modest party! But, if you are planning to start a ‘bloglines shame shame’ brigade count me in!

  6. Oh, I missed that, Neha. Thanks!

  7. bloglines has always been slow – the updates are usually an hour or more late. But it’s convenient for online feeds at work where I don’t want to be downloading my feed reader

  8. Sometime back, I was in tears when Technorati stopped indexing my posts. It took them three reminders and almsot a week to rectify the situation!
