More education. Less schooliness.

Please Let Bloglines Know on this Forum Post

I really don’t want to leave Bloglines. It’s been my morning (and afternoon, and evening) read for at least two years. It’s comfy shoes. Google Reader? Netvibes? They have a lot more, but they miss a few things. And who wants to re-make all those tutorials?

But Miguel’s call for a boycott (and Barbara’s post and Clarence’s comment on the headaches this whole thing is causing) gave me this idea:

Why don’t we use the Bloglines forums and give them a chance to change?

To concentrate things, you might just follow this link and reply there. Here’s what I wrote:

Subject: Get Rid of Image Wall

See this link: [www.mguhlin.net]

Do a search of “image wall” and maybe “education” and you will see that the image wall is causing headaches for teachers and educators around the world.

We all have to quit Bloglines and migrate our students to another aggregator because of this bone-headed idea.

Please just get rid of Image Wall. It’s just a silly gimmick anyway.

The Bloglines Boycott it’s causing seems to be having the opposite effect.

–this is in the “Features Request” section. I also left some less constructive rants, yesterday, in the “General comments” forum section.

Maybe communication will help? It helped solve problems with ePals last week.
