Users should export their syndicated feeds to another RSS reader, as Bloglines will be shut down on Oct. 1, Ask.com said Friday in a blog post.

  1. Its not a suprise for its users by DarkFencer · · Score: 5, Interesting

    There was a time I LOVED Bloglines, but not for a few years. They kept having issues with feeds from common sites and certain aspects of their site returned the same error all the time (such as the error message whenever I tried to go to recommendations).

    I switched to Google Reader earlier this year, and really haven't looked back.
