Dancing About Architecture: Microfeed for "The Future of Bloglines"

The Future of Bloglines

As far as RSS readers go, I'd have to say that Bloglines is number one out there. Personally, I use both Bloglines and FeedDemon.

But what might the future hold for Bloglines? Well, if the past is any indication, Mark Fletcher, the talented developer behind Bloglines, might be aiming for an acquisition ... and let's face it: as syndication takes off, the big players are going to want to add this capability to their list of services.

Okay, so who would acquire Bloglines? You might think that Mark would go back to the well and talk to Yahoo! (who acquired eGroups in 2000), but hmm, they just bought Oddpost.
