Bloglines, "Website Down" Screenshot - Funny

August 06, 2008

Bloglines is a very popular online RSS reader, and it was down today. Here is their website is down screen.

“Bloglines is down temporarily. We will be back shortly.”



This is hilarious – you would think the circus is closed for the day, not the website is down that I go to 50+ times a day to read my RSS feeds.

Marc, I’m currently using Google Reader but wanted to know what the pros and cons are for Bloglines. Advice?

Rey: from what I’ve heard, Google Reader is better and there are no reasons to use Bloglines over Google Reader. For me, I use Bloglines because it was out before Google Reader and it is easy to share RSS feed subs.

@Rey I stick with Bloglines because the mobile and iPhone versions are vastly superior to Google Reader.

“Artsy” fail screens like this (and the fail whale), I think, are supposed to take the edge off an error situation. But they have so little useful info, they end up just frustrating me more.

Funny.. Sometimes people don’t really think over what they write. This could easily be misinterpreted, yes! Cheers. – Ray J.
