If you are too lazy to click through and read their post, &#8220;freedback&#8221; is basically your regular feedback, but which can be found in blogs by Bloglines stuff.  If you want to complain about something, just blog about it and use &#8220;bloglines&#8221; and &#8220;freedback&#8221; words in that post.  They&#8217;ll catch it.  Or so they say.<\/p>\n<p>As much as I like the concept of coining a term for this type of feedback, I hate this implementation.  &#8220;Freedback&#8221; doesn&#8217;t really mean anything to me, and thus hard to remember and long to type.  Maybe that&#8217;s because English isn&#8217;t my native language.  I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>Now for some real Bloglines freedback&#8230; Things that I think need improvement:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>User interface.<\/strong> I have a few problems of my own, but I&#8217;ve added a few things to the list after pushing one of those regular users (read: non-technical) to use Bloglines.  I can elaborate on this if anyone wants to hear (let me know).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feed fetching intervals.<\/strong> I&#8217;ve blogged about it a few times already.  Almost none of my feeds are updated once an hour.  Only the most popular (like Slashdot, and del.icio.us\/popular) are close to that mark.  Everything else lags behind.  Sometimes for days.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Little things.<\/strong>  There are a whole bunch of little things that aren&#8217;t worth the whole post, but which are annoying when confronted over long periods of time.  Tags is one thing.  It&#8217;s 21st century already, and I just can&#8217;t live without tags.  I am dying.  Better integration with other webservices.  Like LiveJournal for example.  Why can&#8217;t my friends list be automatically synchronized with my Bloglines account?  Things like these&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But despite all the changes that I wish to see made to Bloglines, it&#8217;s still the best alternative out there.  I&#8217;ve tried them all (and keep trying) and none other service or application provides this level of quality, integrity, and stability.  Seriously, keep it up guys!<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>Bloglines are asking for some freedback.
