Keeping New

Me, 2005-09-15:

I’m tired of Bloglines being down and slow and not telling me how many of the “unread” messages it indicates next to each weblog name are actually “Keep New” messages.

Bloglines, 2005-10-13:

There’s a difference between “Unread” articles and those marked “Keep as New” (subtle, but distinct), so you will now see two numbers next to your subscribed feeds in parentheses. The number to the left of the colon represents the articles you have not read/seen before, and the number on the right represents the articles you have manually kept new.

Hooray! I first mailed them about this about a year ago, and I’m sure I’m not the only one to complain. That’s much better. Now only the speed and uptime problems to solve, Ask Jeeves :-)

  1. Now all that remains to be done about keep-new items is styling the links differently when there are only keep-new items.
    Thinking forward, aren’t there GM scripts for Bloglines to piggyback on for such functionnality?

  2. Noticed this too. Very handy for keeping track of stuff bookmarked elsewhere for posting or re-reading at home.

  3. Well, if it was you, then thank you very much. I have things hanging round for weeks unread; now I can leave them for months without irritating me so much.
