Network World Review of BlogBridge

Filed under: BlogBridge — Pito Salas on 12:39 pm

Check out this review of BlogBridge in Network World written by Mark Gibbs

Here are some excerpts to give you a taste:

I’ve tried various newsreaders over the last few years and none have really solved the problem of managing feed contents really effectively and, most importantly, doing so across multiple platforms. That is, until I found BlogBridge published by BlogBridge Inc. (from eview of BlogBridge in Network World.)

He likes the Pro subscription:

“The BlogBridge “Pro” subscription supports posting feed content as a link, an extract, or the whole article directly to your own blog (Drupal, Roller, WordPress and Movable Type are supported) as well as Twitter.” (from Review of BlogBridge in Network World.)

and the SmartFeeds:

“BlogBridge also offers what the publishers call “SmartFeeds” which are filters that create feeds from existing ones based on attributes that include search text in articles, title of articles, date and category, name of feed, name of guide (your groupings of feeds), and number of “starz.” (from Review of BlogBridge in Network World.

and Starz (which I am glad to hear because it’s my favorite and original differentiator in BlogBridge which I know is not as universally popular with the users of BlogBridge :)

“”Starz” are a built-in automatic rating system based on the frequency of posts, number of links in postings, click-throughs, and number of feed views – the last two attributes are determined from the aggregated behavior of BlogBridge users who have established accounts with the Web service.” (from Review of BlogBridge in Network World.

Yup, Mark likes it:

“If you’re a news junkie, BlogBridge will change the way you think about consuming news feeds and help you find the stuff you really want. I’ll give BlogBridge a “highly recommended.”" (from Review of BlogBridge in Network World.

Server Outage

Filed under: BlogBridge — Pito Salas on 4:45 pm

Dear Users,

As you might have noticed, our server died an ugly death yesterday.

We have been moving heaven and earth to get it back up and we are almost there. Believe me, it’s been harrowing and it has led to us moving our operation to a brand new server which we are now in the process of provisioning.

Thank you very much for your patience. We will keep you posted.

Current Status: 99% of the way to full operation
