Bye Bye Bloglines

I just switched over to rojo and findory.

From some quick playing around with it, rojo will replace my daily reading. I've significantly scaled back the blogs that I read. I plan to scale it back even further to the people that read and link to me and the people that I communicate with behind the blog. Because I can connect to other people that use rojo, I'll be able to not only follow what my cohorts write, but also what they read and tag. I am looking forward to more collaboration with the people that are supporting us. I think rojo can provide that. You know who you are, please connect with me.

I also imported my opml into findory. I didn't cut back the feeds in findory as findory determines the most read items in my feeds. So, if I stumble upon a blog that looks interesting, I'll subscribe via findory. I probably won't read it regularly, but let findory's personalization technology sort through the crap.

» Testing out Findory's new RSS reader from Greg Yardley's Internet Blog
Findory now lets me add any OPML file to my favorites, allowing me to use it as an RSS reader. I'd asked for this, so now that I've got it, I'm using it - between Greg Linden's announcement on Wednesday and an hour ago I only opened Bloglines to impor... [Read More]

Glad you like it, Peter!

Sorry to use this forum to get in touch with you, but I couldn't find an email link. I am putting together a videoblogging mini conference here in Worcester and wanted to let you know about it. Please email me back and I will send more info. It is scheduled for Monday, Oct. 3rd.

Thanks,
Carl

Let me know how you find Rojo. If it's nice and fast now, maybe I'll give it another whirl.

Yeah, please update us on this adventure. I thought about it a while ago but was annoyed when you couldn't change the default behavior for read feeds (to just delete the entries).

That's my first issue with rojo. Using bloglines, I am used to the post disappearing after I've read it. In rojo, you have to click "mark as read". It is an extra step which I don't want to do.

Anyone know the people behind rojo?
