Paying for value and innovation
Comments(3)
I have no problem paying for value and innovation though $5 a month is a little steep. Aggravated by Bloglines, I couldn’t wait to subscribe to Feedlounge (but I had to since I couldn’t get in the early testing program).
The UI is pretty cool though a few things are clearly missing:
- No sorting by date (I want to read my feeds oldest unread entry first)
- No ‘display only unread messages in feeds with unread messages’
- Cool little stuff like “Email this”, automatic “Open in new tab” and others
But the BIG thing for me is that feeds are simply very rarely or never getting updated. I could go through the list (50+% of my feeds) but it’s too long. Amongst them: the gawker feeds, engadget, Monologue, Planet Gnome, TUAW, …
I am about to give up and go back to Bloglines, I hope they improve things quickly. Bloglines is not perfect either but at least it’s free.
Update: Scott @ FeedLounge was very responsive in tracking those issues. It looks like it’ll be solved soon.

hey erik,
sorry to hear it, and i in checking i do notice the feed lag you’re talking about with a couple of my Planet feeds – GNOME included. it’s interesting, though, b/c FL picks up my “first” feeds – the feeds i read first, like yours – quite quickly.
haven’t really noticed any lag there, but as Alex says, i’d give em at least a couple of days to see what the dealio is. if not, you can always grab your OPML and check out.
