This is fantastic. PCWorld’s latest issue has a review of some of the top aggregators, News on Demand. They gave Bloglines the highest ranking of any of the aggregators, tied with Feeddemon. They didn’t talk about some of the features that are completely unique to Bloglines, like personalized recommendations, email subscriptions, and references, but it’s still a great review.

Sorry I’ve been quiet lately, but I’ve been busy busy busy. I just wanted to mention a couple of things: Dave Winer is asking for reviews of aggregators. If you’re a Bloglines user, would you consider writing a review? Speaking of Dave, I sincerely appreciate the effort that he is leading to clarify the RSS 2.0 spec in regards to escaping practices, especially as they currently exist. Clarity is good. Finally, I really appreciate the efforts of Sam Ruby and Mark Pilgrim in building test cases for Atom and RSS.

A Scan of the Headline Scanners:“Bloglines is free, powerful and intuitive, making it a good choice for those new to RSS. You can subscribe to hundreds of feeds without slowing the service (or your computer). It handles categories of feeds beautifully and has a strong search feature.” Thanks Ryan!

As announced this morning, we introduced several new Top Links features. In addition to seeing the overall list of most popular links for the past day, you can now view just the top gaining links or just the top declining links for the past day. These listings are a great way to find out what people are talking about every day. In addition, you can now use Bloglines or another reader to subscribe to RSS feeds of these pages.

Harold Check’s interview with me has been posted on the RSS Weblog. Harold asked some great questions and I appreciate the opportunity to talk about Bloglines and the world of syndication.
