So, I made a couple criticisms of Bloglines in the last entry Found A Web Base RSS Aggregator -- Bloglines. Well, check out Bloglines News:

We have made some changes to the subscription process to make it easier to subscribe to feeds with just one click. Unless it isn't clear which feed you wish to subscribe to, the confirmation page will no longer appear. We have also added subscription check boxes to the Top Feeds and New Feeds pages, so that it's easier to subscribe to multiple feeds at once.

When clicking on a folder name, all unread items within that folder are now displayed on one page in the right pane, for easy viewing. We also continue to tweak the colors and fonts to make the display easier to read. And we smashed a couple of bugs for good measure.
That's what I am talkin' 'bout.
In addition to instant-gratification, I have suddenly jumped on this whole RSS-subscription-bandwagon (thanks, in part, to Bloglines). At first, I subscribed to my BlogRoll, and it was very nice. I saw the updated posts; pictures with IMG tags came through; I could easily open the links in a new tab if I wanted to view the whole entry or read comments; I could look in the frame window and instantly say what was updated. It was good.
Now, though, I just realized that I can keep going with this. /. Perl.com OSNews.com The Artima Weblogs and various Artima Buzz feeds It's endless. This is good stuff.
Frequently updated web pages without an RSS feed are deprecated.
