Spammer Impersonates The Bloglines Team
2007-11-20 03:08:00
Over the weekend, a few individuals, including some of us who work on Bloglines, reported receiving Spam from Bloglines. It was a surprise for us and the few other Blogliners who also received the emails. While the total number of emails sent appear to be small less than 1,000, we think it’s serious enough to address because the spammer impersonated official Bloglines correspondence. The Event Emails were sent recommending several posts on a Chinese Blog via the “send a post to a friend” feature on Bloglines. The email ended with a signature from “The Bloglines Team .” The emails were not sent by anyone associated with the Bloglines Team. The Actions Taken We monitored our logs and suspended the spammer’s IP address restricting their usage of Bloglines. In addition, on Monday 11/19/07, we briefly shut down the “send email” feature on Bloglines to further monitor the situation. FYI Bloglines sends out email to our subscribers for purposes specific to opera...

2007-10-01 19:30:00
It's been a fast and furious last few weeks as the Bloglines Team has released four releases in four weeks. We've released "Pin", "Email Post", inline styles, and now as of today support for OpenID. New Personalization Preferences and Bloglines Beta Mobile . We went back and forth about how we should get the word out. Should we post over several days, make one massive post, or break it up into different posts, We decided to launch at once and blog at once; we have detailed posts for each of these releases, in case you want to read more. OpenID - Bloglines Beta and Bloglines Classic will both support OpenID. Going forward we'll support consuming OpenID, OpenID 2.0 and are investigating the use of other Open Standards such as oAuth and APML.

OpenID is now Open for Blogliners
2007-10-01 19:30:00
Today is our first release devoted to supporting Open ID for Bloglines Classic and Bloglines Beta. In the near future, Bloglines will also support consuming OpenIDs and OpenID 2.0 which was just released this week. Now our more technical users will know right way what's going on and will be excited. In that case, you can go to id.bloglines.com and get started. Note - OpenID is just the beginning of us working with true open standards. Other formats getting our attention include oAuth (Open Authentication) and APML (Attention Profiling Mark-up Language). For the rest of you, let me outline a little bit about OpenID and what it will offer you in the future. OpenID allows you to create an identity online and use that identity to login to any OpenID supported site. In other words, you will no longer need to create a new username and password for every single website. How many times have you gone to a site and forgotten your login. You might ask yourself, was the username...

Bloglines Beta Goes Mobile
2007-10-01 19:30:00
Bloglines has had a leading mobile feed reader for the last couple of years. It's always been one of our key product strengths. So we were really excited to make our mobile product even better. We were busy over the summer re-writing the mobile code from the ground up. A new version of mobile is available as part of the Bloglines Beta Releases. Go to m.beta.bloglines.com on your cell phone. When we feel it's ready, we'll make it available on Bloglines Classic. Key Features Start Page - Your Bloglines Start Page is displayed at the top of the screen. This way you can pull your favorite feeds to the top. Pin (formerly known as Keep New) - Sometimes you want to save that special post to read later when you're not on the go. Pagination - Instead of loading all of your posts, we parse out the posts into smaller bundles to fit into the memory constraints of cell phone browser. This has numerous benefits including improved speed, better reliability and safer "mark read" b...

Personalization Preferences
2007-10-01 19:30:00
We've been comparing our fall release cycle to a mad-dash European tour. If it's Tuesday, it must be Paris. It's Tuesday! We're probably launching our latest release for Bloglines Beta. Today's release focuses on the personalization settings to optimize your feed reading experience. We have a combination of something old, something new, something borrowed and of course, the site is blue. Where to go? Look in the header and you'll see the word "settings." Click on it. The personalization settings page will appear. What's New? Mark Individual Posts as Read - You can now choose between Bloglines Classic or Bloglines Beta mark read behavior. You can either mark individual posts as read or mark the entire folder as read.  The current default is to mark individual feeds read. We'll continue to monitor the comments around this setting closely. We know this is very important to our long-time Blogliners. In addition, I want to thank those who gave us feedback commen...
