TedPage: Bloglines

I've started to use Bloglines to keep track of all my RSS feeds. The big reason for this is that I couldn't figure out another way to keep track of what I've read on multiple machines. Yeah, they had to share a file somewhere, but there seems to be no standard for that. What I really need is an RSS to IMAP translator, then I can just use a mail client. But, I'm relatively happy with Bloglines.

I've always said that I would never give my attention to web services. I don't want a web based contact manager or e-mail. The big reason for this is that there is no way to get your data out, you're locked into their service. I understand why they do this, but it is frustrating to me as a user. I might as well use Word. Bloglines doesn't do this, you can see all my feeds if you want, and you can even download them as OPML[1] if you so like. This makes me happy, hurray for Bloglines.
