Blog Tools…
I’m getting a bit frustrated with BlogLines lately. They are popular, but this popularity seems to have taken a big toll on their system. My own posts don’t appear until nearly 12 hours later and it seems for whatever reason it will suddenly stop updating certain blog feeds. I’m at the point that I’m not sure if I know what everyone is up to or not. I can’t keep straight whose blog does play well with BlogLines and whose doesn’t and if one suddenly stops playing well it can take me a week or so to realize I haven’t seen a post from that blog so I’m afraid I’m not being a good blog friend and always reading everyone’s blogs.
So, anyone use a more reliable and faster reacting blog reading/subscription program? Does it allow you to categorize your subscription into different subjects/folders like BlogLines? I’m in need of a more prompt and reliable system!
Bloglines seems to be getting slower in picking up posts.

June (twosheep blog) has some good suggestions. I try to periodically update my blogline feeds to the most recent one for a blog.

I usually use sharpreader and I’m currently experimenting with RssReader. I think they are both very good.

Blogline sucks. I reviewed a few newsreaders last spring:

I use Newsgator. It hasn’t failed me.

Bloglines doesn’t even accept my site as existing! I just use the tried and true click on it and see if they updated… Yes, time consuming I know…
