Why I Use Bloglines
There are many solutions to reading RSS feeds. From browser-based to Outlook add-ins to stand-alone applications. There are merits to all of the different approaches. For the past few years, I have been using Bloglines.com. Bloglines happens to be one of the web-based solutions that renders all of the feeds in your browser with a navigation outline on the left of the window. It is not a bad way to go and really works well if you switch around between multiple computers.
I have been tempted to switch from time to time, especially when Bloglines was having some technical issues a while back, but the primary reason I have not moved on is their Bloglines Mobile feature. Bloglines Mobile is an amazing, light weight version that strips the html to work really well on small screens and mobile devices. I have access to all the feeds (or a subset if I choose) and can start reading exactly where I left off on my desktop.
Bloglines just added an additional new feature to the mobile reader. They have integrated Skweezer technology to optimize web pages for your personal handheld mobile device. So the key development here is pages from links on Bloglines are now also optimized for small screens.
When you click on a link while reading a blog post in Bloglines Mobile, Skweezer will compress and reformat the content so you get it faster and better looking on your small screen. As you surf, the content will continue to be skweezed.
