Feed Description: Weblog of Josh Baltzell. Focusing on the computer industry and .NET programming related news. I like to get involved on the discussions wherever they are.
First of all, Bloglines just redesigned their site. I think it is better and I am a step away from introducing it to my family so they can enjoy blogs like I do. Overall I think the site is moving in the right direction.
So I'm thinking to myself (and this is really how I think to myself), "I think that Bloglines is cool... wait, should that be 'are cool' instead of 'is cool'? Grammar is stupid. There are a lot of unique rules instead of overall rules. I should invent my own language. Anyway, I would say that 'Bloglines is cool' would be correct since Bloglines is the name of a single thing. That makes sense. Anyway, I was thinking that Bloglines is cool since it's all in a browser and works everywhere you can get on the web, but who uses it? I would imagine casual users that only read 10 or so blogs use it and the rest of us that read over 30 or so would use a dedicated application, but post to bloglines like a blogroll."
Well I don't know if I am right or wrong about the real users of Bloglines, but I have a feeling I am at least a little off since the writer of one of the more interesting blogs I read apparently reads all his blogs in a browser, and he doesn't like the new Bloglines update.
Now I am clicking around and gathering my own opinion when I do an ego click and click on my own blog. I occasionally check out there to see if I have very name subscribers listed. It used to only tell you people who have public blogrolls so I had 4. Then after a while I had 3. So now with the update it tells me a total. Bloglines says 10 of their users subscribe to my blog!
