wolfb - feeds and RSS

I like bloglines.

But they have so many problems that today I have decided to move my OPML file to Google Reader.

And although I don't like Google Reader (sorry), I cannot take any more:

• Reading hundred times the same posts from blogger blogs. Even mine. I am about to unsubscribe to my own blog !!
  

• Slow update of posts. Sometimes I see articles in Lifehacker or TechCrunch hours before they show up in bloglines.
  

• Useless options. I keep saying that I want the interface in English, but it changes from English to Spanish depending on the computer I use.
  

• Again: I have marked "read" again all my feeds from YouTube. The same 3 feeds, with the same videos, I have had to "read" them 20 times today !!! 20 !!!

There I go, Google. Again (damn !)

Wait ... did I say that the most troubled feeds are from YouTube and Blogger ??? Could it be that Google ..... ?? Nahhhhh, don't think evil .....

Right now I am waiting for bloglines ....

For some reason, it is not updating the feeds. It cannot be that of the 300 blogs I am subscribed to, none of them has been updated in the last 3 hours ....

So I was thinking .... if you are a blogger that depends on (re)publishing the latest news, where one hour difference can make it or not, relying on RSS feeds from feedburner plus a reader like bloglines can get you out of the game.

Sounds old-fashioned, but a firefox opening 20 tabs with the 20 main blogs you read and refreshing them often might be better than relying on bloglines .....
