Image via CrunchBaseMy old favorite feed reader, Bloglines, is going
away as of October 1. Its parent company, Ask.com, has decided that
feed readers/aggregators must be a thing of the past. They have decided
that social media is the way to go, whatever that means.

So now all my feeds have been migrated to Google Reader. The only thing
I have left to do is to save (via Emails to myself) a good number of
special stories or post that I had stored in Bloglines since 2008. Hope
I have the time to do this, as I would hate to lose those "keepsakes"
or favorites from long ago, and sometimes far away.

Wish me luck.
