Just the other day someone online was complaining about Bloglines lack of recent updates. This may change soon as Bloglines now has competition from Google the Behemoth. They've launched their new Google Reader an on-line news aggregator. It looks pretty but I'm not sure I like it.

I've been using Bloglines for quite a while now. It makes sense for me to use a Web Service Reader as I'm constantly reading my links from three different machines. I've met Mark Fletcher several times and had a nice conversation with at the Seattle LIbrary at the Gnomedex party sponsored by Microsoft. I've gotten used to the interface and I like the tree view of my subscriptions. I'm not sure that Bloglines needs new features.

One thing for sure just I as don't need a aggregator on each of my machines, I don't need two on-line aggregators.
