Have been trying out Bloglines lately. So far, I have to say I think it's pretty damn spiffy. There are a few interface glitches that I'd like to change — for one thing, I don't see any way to rename a folder once it's been created.
I'm also curious about the business model. I don't see how the site is going to make money — there's no membership fee, and I don't see any advertising on the site. Seems like a great idea, but how will they continue to provide the service? It's part of Ask Jeeves now, I believe, but it's got to be bringing something to the table, right?
Other than a few minor complaints, I really do like the service. I have been looking, off and on, for quite some time for the "perfect" RSS/Atom reader, and Bloglines is fitting the bill so far. I'm always open to suggestions for new ones, though.
