There’s a great article in the Wall Street Journal’s Personal Technology section this morning talking about blogs and aggregation. From the article: Overall, I had the best experience with a service called Bloglines, and I recommend it, especially for beginners. Bloglines (www.bloglines.com) works as a Web service, which means there’s no software to install and you can catch up with your blogs from any Web browser. Fantastic! Update: I’ve changed the link to point to the free version of the article.

By now you may have heard about or seen the changes we made to Bloglines last night. We upgraded the user interface and added several new features, including the ability to sort subscriptions. Also, every Bloglines user now gets his or her own blog, and the tools to easily post items to it from their subscriptions. With such large scale changes as these, there are always little issues that come up, and we’re working to address them. We will be adding back the font size preference soon, for example. But overall it appears that our users are very happy with the upgrades, and that’s the most important thing. We’re getting great feedback so far (200 emails just this morning). We’re very lucky to have such passionate, helpful users. I’d like to thank everyone involved in this launch. In no particular order: Joe, Cathy, Kirk, Chad, Joseph, Greg, and our advisory group. I consider myself very lucky to have the opportunity to work with such talented people.

Bloglines has been listed as one of TIme Magazine’s 50 Best Websites. Does that not rock? Yes, that does indeed rock. Fully.

Wednesday night, I’ll emerge from my undisclosed location to attend Joi Ito’s pre-Supernova conference party. I love talking with Bloglines users, so if that’s you, and you are one of the approximately 1.0E24 other attendees of this event, look me up. We’ve got some great things cooking for Bloglines, but we’re always looking for more ways to improve the service.
