I hate it when large companies buy smaller companies, and then mess up the service that the smaller companies provided. Case in point, bloglines. I cant log in to bloglines at the moment. I've never had a service issue when bloglines was running on its own. Ever since AskJeeves took over, the server has been dodgy on a number of occassions. Time to find another aggregator?

I'm being harsh though, considering that I have stuck with blogger/blogspot over the years, even though they have had a much worse service than bloglines. Since these services are free, the attitude might be a little laid back. However, free or not, a service should have the decency to inform users that their service is going down for maintainence on such and such data, at such and such time. Very rarely is that done by websites that provide a service. This should be the norm.

I would not have thought of moving from a web based aggregator to a rich client application, but blogbridge's sync capability has me intrigued. I'll try it out.
