Bloglines Mobile and More

11:00 am - October 27, 2005

We ve added a couple more improvements to Bloglines, including a sweet new feature for Bloglines Mobile. Mobile Do you often find yourself reading Bloglines on your mobile phone with too many feeds and too little time? Well, we ve got great news. No, we re not selling you gecko lizard insurance. But we have made it easy for you to create an abbreviated mobile version of your feed list so you don t have to scroll past dozens of feeds to get to those you have time to read. To create your mobile feed list, click the Edit link while in the web version, check which subscriptions you want or don t want displayed in your mobile view and then select your option in the dropdown menu. You can also change this setting by clicking on the Edit Subscription link while viewing any of your feeds. Another useful option for dealing with a lot of subscriptions is to have Bloglines only display subscriptions that have unread articles. Click on your Account link and look under Feed Options for the setting to show only updated feeds. This applies to both web and mobile versions. In case you ve never seen Bloglines mobile, here s a shot of what it looks like on Robyn s new phone: Job Search Are you spending too much time searching for a job and not enough time reading your Bloglines? Add a personalized job search feed from Simply Hired. Click the Add link at the top of your feed list and then select the Jobs link. If you aren t job hunting, subscribe to www.simplyfired.com for some great stories like the guy who got fired for eating pizza out of the break room fridge. As the slogan says If you don t laugh, you ll cry. The Bloglines Team
