If you read your RSS feeds via Bloglines, as I do, you’ll know they’ve been doing more to make it an interactive web application than a straight click-here, load-another webpage type of traditional web application. AJAX is the technology they’re using to do this.

They’ve asked for Bloglines Freedback — a cute niche term that lets them search for blog posts that talk about them. So here’s mine.

I’m really satisfied with using bloglines. The most recent upgrade fixed the actions that caused page reloads for the left frame blog list. The fact that dynamically updates for marking pages as new and blog updates is awsome. Kudos.

The one feature that would really make bloglines better for me is the notion of a “read up to here” function. I have many blogs that I loosely follow, and by the time I go to skim them, there are 200 entries to read. I don’t have time to read that many, but because I’ve loaded the page, they’re all considered “read” and won’t show up again. If I want to see them again, I need to mark the “Keep new” box for each article, but that’s not practical. (Then, when I did read them, I’d need to check them off again.)

I guess that the reader Andrew uses (Feedonfeeds?) forces him to mark each article as read, instead of explicitly marking them as new. I’d like to hit a happy medium … bloglines to add a function that says “I’ve read this feed up to here.” I might mark that after reading the 10th post on a feed that has 90 posts, and when I load the screen again, I see the next 80 (plus whatever new ones are.) This isn’t an explicit keep as new, just an idea of where I stopped so I can start there next time.

Does that make sense? What do you think, Bloglines?
