The Death of a Web Service (continued)

A couple weeks ago, I blogged about the potential death of a web service called Bloglet that I use to manage my email subscriptions to this blog.

Bloglet has been working, but barely, and I've found a good replacement.

It's called FeedBlitz and it works almost identically to Bloglet.

If you look carefully at the Subscribe field at the top left of this blog, you'll see that it has changed a tiny bit and that it is now powered by FeedBlitz.

If you don't subscribe to this blog by email, that's the only change you'll ever see.

If you do subscribe by email, you are going to get a different looking email every morning.

It will include the entire blog post so you do not need to click thru to the web to read my posts.

I have mixed feelings about that and would encourage you to click thru and read on the web if that's what you like to do.

But if you'd rather read in the email, that's fine with me too.

FeedBlitz uses any RSS feed I choose and since I chose my Feedburner feed, you'll now see Google RSS ads in the daily emails.  I wish these ads were more effective but they are not that relevant.

If there were something better, I'd be happy to switch that too.

FeedBlitz has a great Bloglet import feature so if you signed up to get my blog emailed to you with Bloglet, you'll now automatically get it from FeedBlitz.

I have two requests for those readers who get the blog via email

1 - if you don't get it starting tomorrow from FeedBlitz, please let me know.  You can comment to this post or send me an email.

2 - If there is anything you don't like about the new emails, let me know. I can change them pretty easily and will if I get any consistent feedback encouraging me to do that.

That's it.  I hope you like the new service.  And I hope this one doesn't die on me.

thanks Fred - feedblitz started working yesterday & informed me about ur kottke post

Nice to see an A-Lister value their readers highly enough to go through the schlepp of importing subscriber details into a new, more reliable service

[Keyvan N.]

Not sure I understand why you have mixed feelings about including the whole post : ins't that what you already do in your feed ?

Nice find, Fred. Bloglet is inconsistent, but it was by and large the only game in town. That was convenient because all the blogs I subscribed to by email came aggregated in one daily email each morning. Now I get two. Yours by FeedBlitz, the others by Bloglet. Do you know if FeedBlitz aggregates in that way, so that as others consider switching I don't go from one email to a dozen?

[Wayne Anderman]

Glad to see your posts on my email again. Feedblitz began to come through yesterday but there was about a week of not hearing from you...It looks like the first to market services need to refine themselves as they hit critical mass. It will be interesting to watch development in this area I would think.

Fred:

Thank you for the post and welcome to FeedBlitz.

To address Jonathan's comments above, if you subscribe to multiple blogs using FeedBlitz, FeedBlitz consolidates them into a single daily digest (please do try it and see). The same is true if there are multiple posts in a single day in one blog - just one daily email. The dual post yesterday was a transition problem that was a FeedBlitz issue, not Fred's (now corrected); there will be just one and one alone (FeedBlitz) going forward.

I'm happy to take questions about the service directly at feedblitz.com for those who'd like to know more.

Thanks again,

Phil

Thanks for the information, Phil, I'm sold. I changed the service on my blog to FeedBlitz as well. Good luck with it!
