FeedDemon still having problems?
Wednesday, July 09 2008
A few weeks ago I posted about my displeasure in discovering that all my http://blogs.msdn.com feeds suddenly stopped working. I highlighted the fact that for weeks I had not known these feeds weren’t updated and was pretty frustrated with FeedDemon simply because there was no way of me knowing which feeds weren’t updating etc. Nick Bradbury left a comment and let me know Newsgator was working on the issue with Microsoft and hoped to have it cleared up soon. It did get cleared up… I think.
Today at the Microsoft Pro Photo Summit here in Seattle, I met up with Kip Kniskern from LiveSide (who is the one who got to me go to FeedDemon way back when and uses FeedDemon just like me) and discovered Kip had something odd happen yesterday that also happened to me. Suddenly tons of our feeds showed tons of updates – as if a block was released on these feeds. These feeds were NOT feeds from http://blogs.msdn.com and were feeds from all sorts of sources – pretty much across the board.
Ok so what’s the deal here? How the hell am I suppose to know which feeds are updating and which ones aren’t? How the hell am I suppose to depend on FeedDemon to stay up to date with RSS feeds?

I was using an earlier version and was getting to like it. But then I upgraded to 2.7 and boy that is one awful update... It wouldn't import my feeds, (and google did!), it wouldn't update feeds properly, and I had to crash out of it! Wow! Then it kept wanting me to log into BlogLines... Why?
