Goodbye Bloglines

Accessing my Bloglines feeds earlier today, I was greeted with the message:
As you may have heard, we are sorry to share that Bloglines will officially shut down on October 1, 2010.
As a matter of fact, I hadn't heard, but I'm not surprised. As the Ask.com (owner of Bloglines) blog indicates, "being locked in an RSS reader makes less and less sense to people as Twitter and Facebook dominate real-time information flow."

With the closure of Bloglines, I'm removing the link from the sidebar and will see about migrating the feeds elsewhere. Somehow I doubt I'll reinstate them somewhere similar, instead going with the flow and letting Facebook and Twitter drive people's intake of information.
