Comments on: So Long Bloglines, And Thanks For All The Feeds http://www.swissarmylibrarian.net/2010/09/21/so-long-bloglines-and-thanks-for-all-the-feeds/ or, The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Fear and Loathing at a Public Library Reference Desk Sun, 07 Feb 2016 16:43:09 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.4.2 By: Sean Patterson http://www.swissarmylibrarian.net/2010/09/21/so-long-bloglines-and-thanks-for-all-the-feeds/#comment-1828 Thu, 07 Oct 2010 13:30:19 +0000 http://www.swissarmylibrarian.net/?p=1141#comment-1828 I think you’ll be immensely happy with Netvibes, especially the “Reader View” part of it. That’s the only part of the site I currently use since I have a huge collection of feeds and I couldn’t always work out a nice layout for all the feeds. Netvibes does an EXCELLENT job of managing this. I also love threadsy for my e-mail/social network stuff.

Without making too much of a shameless plug, I went my own “journey” of trying to figure out a system for my feeds and blogged about it. If you’re interested in looking at some other options, check out http://dillieodigital.wordpress.com/2009/12/08/lifestyle-data-management-conclusion/

I’ve been using Netvibes since posting this review, and have more or less gotten comfortable with it. Emailing articles isn’t as clean as Bloglines, but otherwise it seems like a fairly 1-to-1 replacement.

Just click it an the top space minimizes.

I was hoping they’d export, but since they didn’t, I think it will be a one-by-one process – which isn’t a bad thing, since many have been bookmarked for years and may no longer be relevant anyway. If you figure out something better, please do let me know.

I moved to Google Reader, but have yet to figure out how to bookmark items. If I don’t find the key soon, I’m going to change again.
I, too, have hundreds of Bloglines bookmarks. What are you doing with yours? I’ve been going to the articles and bookmarking each one in my browser, but that is getting out of hand! Do you have a better plan? I use Zotero for genealogy, but maybe that would work for the bookmarks.

@Brian I’ve heard of FeedDemon but not used it before, let me know your thoughts
I migrated over to Google Reader from Bloglines and had no trouble importing my feeds. Great experience thus far.

btw, Thanks for linking up in your post!

@Brian: I don’t think I said it outright, but another criteria was I was looking for an online tool, rather than a download-and-install one. There seemed to be a lot of those, and they seemed pretty decent. But like you (I think), I want to be able to read feeds wherever I am – home or work (with work being any number of computers, since I’m always bouncing around between my office and the computers at the reference desk). Please let me know how you end up liking FeedDemon, because I am keeping that option open.

to FeedDemon – even if I have to read it at home –
or will, after Oct 1, since our network strongly discourages on-the-fly downloads…
Hope to continue to access your site –
Regards from Syracuse, NY

I’ve used netvibes for a long time, and that doesn’t happen often. Also, if the feeds stop updating, clicking on reader view will update them, then you can switch back to widget. they’ll probably fix that. The web note and to-do list widgets are really handy. I have about 7 tabs on my netvibes. you should try the link tool, delicious widget, and the web page widget is pretty cool. obviously, I love my netvibes.
