More Bloglines feedback

Overall, Jeremy Zawodny feels positively about Bloglines (as do I), but points out some of the annoyances he finds with Bloglines. I would add one serious annoyance from where I sit: you can't subscribe to internal RSS feeds behind your firewall. Right now, InfoWorld has three internal weblogs that we don't want to publish to the outside world:


  • Online strategy
  • Technical documentation for InfoWorld systems
  • Internal IT updates

To keep up with these, I have to either run a client-side aggregator inside my firewall (not a huge deal, but it's better to have all of your RSS feeds in one place) or periodically check the internal sites for updates (defeating the purpose of RSS). Perhaps Bloglines should license their software for use on the intranet? Then I could VPN in and pick up all of my RSS feeds from a web-based aggregator inside our firewall.
