Goodbye Bloglines
Originally uploaded by titaniumtommy.
Does Bloglines mobile blow or suck these days? They have some html rendering bug that seems to leave the h2 and anchor tag unclosed for each blog post's heading. As you can imagine, giant underlined text has been arriving over the EVDO for days and I finally got tired of waiting for a fix (yes, I reported the bug several days ago...they said they were on it).



I decided to try Google Reader mobile out. It works a little differently, but I sure like it. With Bloglines, you would choose a blog, then they'd list all of the posts for that blog (up to 200 posts a time!). With the EVDO connection it was not terribly slow, but pushing several megs to the phone makes it perform terribly.



With Google Reader, they just push all of the post titles into a big list so it all gets jumbled together. I kinda like it though since you get a nice mix of stuff. Then when you click the post title, Google loads the single post. They allow you to add stars with only one page load (Bloglines takes two page loads then it marks eveything in that feed read...going back twice sometimes mantains your state sometimes, but sometimes not). Anyway, Google reader looks promising...maybe Bloglines will fix their bugs and add pagination (that's what will bring me back).
