As we continue to develop new features, small and large, we also make necessary improvements to existing systems. Expanding our support for the Atom 1.0 syndication standard is the latest of these. You may notice duplicate posts coming from atom feeds as we make the switch from the old to the new atom parser. But have no fear, these duplicates will fade away and soon be a distant memory.
I can confirm that their handling of relative links and xml:base is fixed (my Tim Bray feed finally works). They're still getting tripped up on atom/entry/title and atom/entry/source/title (it seems that whichever one comes last in an atom/entry wins). Sam Ruby is tracking a couple more nits in Forward Motion!.
It's nice to see Bloglines back responding to people. Hopefully, they continue to do so. For an app that started from grassroots bloggers, it sure did clam up once Ask.com bought 'em. I thought it was going to get worse when I heard that Mark Fletcher left, but on the contrary, it seems to have gotten better. I was even able to find a blog of one of their workers – Paul's Journal – though he doesn't seem to talk about his $job too much.
Cheers, Bloglines, you may win me over again, yet.

I have fixed the source/title bug. Thanks for blogging about it.
I love bloglines. It's been really helpful as I've gotten into the blog world.
