Google Reader: fixed. NewsGator Online: fixed. Bloglines: strongly not recommended to my friends and family anymore.

I've exchange a half-dozen emails with Bloglines technical support concerning their parsing issues. Each time they have given me courteous responses about how the issue has been sent off and assigned to an engineer who will investigate the problem and fix it.

I thought everything was to be all good.

However, the meat of the correspondances happened back in November 2005 and January. The issues are still there. I went and tried out Rojo and Google Reader because it was time to abandon the Bloglines ship. But both of those suffered interface problems. (Not problems with their service; rather, I much prefer the Bloglines UI to their own.)

Maybe I'll try them out again though. Oh, Bloglines, we had a really great run together (Found A Web Base RSS Aggregator -- Bloglines, Bloglines (Again) -- Now That's What I Am Talking About, This I Know: Bloglines Rocks). At most points, I would have been willing to pay for your service. But your lack of updates to your parsing issues has me concerned. And I know (from other people's blog posts on exactly this subject) that I am not the only one bringing it to your attention.

Update:

They've turned it around.
