I’m not the first to declare feed bankruptcy so it’s not an original idea. I knew I’m gonna have to do this for a few months now, because the number of unread items in my bloglines skyrocketed from ~1.000 not so long ago to ~12.000 yesterday. These people at Mashable or Techcrunch write faster than I can read… ;)
This decision was easy because I wanted to try Google Reader instead of bloglines, so threre was a good motivation to just move my feed list from one reader to another, keeping the feeds and resetting the number of unread news.
And here’s the real point of this post: Google Reader rocks. Bloglines is a great service, especially the new beta version, but what Google Reader means for on-line feed readers can only be compared to what Gmail was to webmail market.
(Now I have to clean up my subscription list, so I won’t have to declare bankruptcy again next week)
