My first impression was that this site wasn't what I was looking for at the moment, but it looked like it might be good for someone more interested in the social aspect. Unfortunately, the more I tried using it, the more terrible it appeared to be. I wish I could delete my account entirely, but it doesn't have that option. There's no way to leave feedback on the site, either, though they do have a Twitter. Nor is there any kind of guide or help beyond the intro video. I could go on about all the ways the site is crap, but I've already wasted enough time on it. by Jan 12

On the one hand, it does have the kind of expanded view I want. On the other hand, the font is too small and the frame too wide for comfortable reading, and the whole thing feels clunky. Plus, it has a limit of 64 feeds. by Jan 12
Bloglines
Bloglines is the fastest way to find and track your favorite websites and blogs in real-time. Easily customize your dashboard with multiple view options, drag and drop organization, and exclusive widgets. Get the latest news on all your interests and trending topics exactly the way you want it, with the new Bloglines Reader! Bloglines isn't going anywhere! We're happy to announce that MerchantCircle is going to keep Bloglines up and running. As part of the transition, we ask our users to migrate their existing accounts to the new system.
The new Bloglines is just Netvibes with the Bloglines logo. You can even login to Bloglines with your preexisting Netvibes password. This should have been made clear right on the front page. I guess it's not surprising that it isn't, but I can't believe that the information wasn't easier to find in a Google search. by Jan 12
