Has anyone else noticed that Bloglines has been utterly off its rocker for the last month or two? It’s repopulating my lists with literally hundreds of posts I’ve already read–often seconds after I read them–and it’s completely stopped updating Slate, not even having the courtesy to hold onto the posts I already marked as “new” to read later. It makes me wonder which other sites’ feeds have stopped working with Bloglines. If anyone at Bloglines has the unfortunate job of searching blogs for mentions of the service, maybe they could forward this complaint to the higher-ups (and make special note of the next paragraph).

I swear, it’s almost enough to make me use an RSS reader on my own computer. Speaking of which, do any of you have a free and robust RSS reader you’d recommend?
