As you can imagine I have a phalanx of SmartFeeds scouring the net for anyone talking, good or bad, about BlogBridge. I post comments to threads and otherwise enjoy seeing where we are having an impact. Here are just a few excerpts from recent months:

From h0bbel’s web site, from a post called “How did I Miss Netvibes?”

“[snip...] I’m not ready to get rid of BlogBridge though, which still is my favorite Java application of all time (besides Gallery Remote of course), and to be honest BlogBridge performance has never been better than the v4.4 Weekly Build I’m currently running. On my Laptop, running Microsoft Vista Business, BlogBridge really performs well and I still love the centralized configuration/feed settings that I’ve praised before.[snip...]“

Des Walsh from Bussiness and Blogging, from a post called “RSS Readers: NewsGator and BlogBridge”

“[snip...] Another thing I like about BlogBridge is that they provide various lists of leading blogs to help set up a “guide” immediately. I still haven’t figured out how to import/export OPML files with BlogBridge and I am concerned to be able to do that. The online manual could be more immediately helpful on that.[snip...]

On the MarcNext blog, from a post called: “De Slimmer feedreader is in aantocht”:

“[snip...]Nu ben ik wat BlogBridge betreft erg gehecht aan mijn smartfeeds, dus om nu gelijk over te stappen naar bijvoorbeeld Feedeye vind ik wat te snel. Ik hoop daarom dat dergelijke functionaliteit straks in de meeste readers wordt ingebakken. Het zou het leven van een RSS-lezer een stuk aangenamer maken.[snip..]“

Oh, you don’t read Dutch??? Sorry

And, from D’Arcy Norman’s blog, from a post called “Heading back to BlogBridge”:

“[snip...]

I tried. I really did. I wanted to give Google Reader a full week to see how well it works as a full-time feed aggregator.

I couldn’t do it.

[snip...]

So, I’m back to BlogBridge.  Ahhhh… that’s better. There’s no place like home…
