As much as I like Bloglines.com and want to remain loyal to a company that has been served me excellently for the past five years, there is a limit to my loyalty.

And that limit is reached today. For the past few days, it has becoming unreliable, from arbitrarily marking things as unread, to the website simply not loading (try click on the link and you will see—it's been that way for a day now that I'm sure by the time you click on it, it would still be down).

I'm the kind of person who has low expectations and high tolerance for pain. And I tend to stick with a company long past the point where everyone else have switched. One of the things that we say at home is "If they piss off even us, they won't remain open for long."

So, it's "Goodbye, Bloglines.com. And thanks for all the feeds."

And please keep this in mind as I keep on talking about Windows 3.1, COM, and Java.

[Update] And of course, minutes after I posted this blog entry, Bloglines.com came back to life.
