Bloglines down

April 16, 2005 at 7:11 am | In Uncategorized |

I use .com to read my favorite blogs. It uses what’s called RSS to let me know when there is a new post (or 10) on any of the blogs I subscribe to and when I click on that feed, it shows me only the new posts from that blog. Makes it really easy to keep up.

Except when it’s . Bloglines asked me to log in this morning which is very unusual. Normally it just remembers me since I’m always using the same computer. So I put bloglines in google and found this german language blog that lead me to the bloglines technorati tag which lead me to this:

For the last hour or so, Bloglines has been down: access to my RSS feeds is impossible. No word about that problem on the Bloglines blog but when I tried to setup a new account, I got a ‘There is a problem with the database. Please try again later’ error message, eventhough the search engine is working fine. Note to self: export Bloglines subscriptions into another RSS reader. — miss-information.net

Great, it’s not just me. Guess I really should get packing. :-)

Update 11:51a Seems bloglines is back. Right, back to packing!
Update 5:02p Seems to be back down. And again, back to packing. :-)
Update, still giving me problems but more or less back up again.

  1. I use my Firefox browser which has a RSS feed thingy built in.

    Left click the RSS orange square at the bottom right of the blog pane. Firefox will ask if you want to subscribe.

    The link then becomes live. When you go to your bookmarks the bookmarks will update automatically.

    Kewl blog dude!

  2. Thanks for the note. I use a web service (rather than my firefox) because I use a lot of different computers. I’m not sure that RSS would be very useful in the browser itself. Ya know? Thanks for visiting! Bloglines is back up now.

  3. So I clicked on the link for the open mind blog and was surprised to end up at the micro$oft website. When I looked closely, I saw the link had the http:// part twice before the actual address. How did micro$oft get http://http:// go to them? Weird, yes? Dang monopolies.
