If you’re having trouble logging into Bloglines tonight you’re not the only one. It looks like they are having some sort of database problems. Others reporting difficulties include:
to name just a few.
Unfortunately this is becoming more of a problem for Bloglines – its the second extended problem I’ve had in a few weeks. Perhaps its rapid growth is taking things a bit beyond what they can handle.
I’m going to do some serious looking for a non web based News Aggregator this week – I can’t afford to have my News Aggregator offline like this – it’s costing me money each time it goes down. What do other Mac users use to track RSS feeds? Interested in others experiences.

Be sure to download version 2 beta. The final version will be released in a few days and the latest beta is very good.
It’s back up, and working again.
Ah very good reminder to take a look at your last export of your opml file. ;))
At least in windows, there are some newsreaders who can sync with bloglines.
Before paying for a software based reader, you could play with newsgator’s online service. It’s not as polished as bloglines imo, but it’d suffice as a backup.
Frienster is down currently, too. I wonder why all those high-profile sites like Friendster, Bloglines and Flickr regularly think they can co offline without damaging their repuditaion.

Blah, it’s down again.
Before purchasing a software based reader, you could give newsgator’s online service a try. Not as polished as bloglines imo, but a worthy backup.
Heads up… BlogLines said it’s going offline again for 3 hours at 7PM Pacific time tonight to replace failing hardware.
