Why I Use Bloglines My Default RSS Reader

Choosing a decent RSS reader browse read your favourite RSS feeds was not a straight forward task. I tried tested many different windows desktop readers but I ended up uninstalling them one reason or another. Then I found Bloglines I am pleased say I have not yet been disappointed with it.

The reason I need a decent RSS reader that I spend a lot time reading feeds. I run an RSS resource website http://www.newsniche.com/ which means I have keep up date with all things RSS. Naturally I have come across many RSS readers but have found them always be lacking one thing or another. In my research I came across Bloglines which a web based reader.

It's a shame Bloglines does not have an affiliate program I would love promote it, purely because such a great tool. Unfortunately me but fortunately you this tool free everybody loves free internet tools. The main reason I am writing this because I feel I need give something back Bloglines I also want you benefit from such a great RSS reader.

Lets start by looking at main benefits using Bloglines. Firstly fast use. Now usually web based tools are a lot slower than there desktop counterparts, this case because Bloglines has a cache feeds because its large user base feeds are already Bloglines server. With desktop reader you would have download feeds when you start up your reader, if you subscribe a lot feeds like me then you will end up waiting a long time.

As a popular web based reader you have advantage social side RSS. There a directory all feeds there readers have subscribed if reader chooses make their list RSS feeds public you can see what everyone else reading. Another great spin off from this ability see how many Bloglines users are subscribed each feed.

As you know everything has its down side Bloglines no exception. The main negative that if Bloglines ever down then you will not be able access your feeds. Now this certainly a big potential problem especially if you really heavily being able have access your feeds. Since I have been a user I have yet not experienced any down time. As a precaution you can export your RSS feed list an OPML file so you can import into another RSS reader should Bloglines go belly up or experience any serious down time.

I am happy say Bloglines a tool I would gladly recommend an RSS user. It easy setup, easy use at moment totally free. So why not try it, I promise you that you will quickly become addicted you will be checking your feeds more than your email.
