So, Google has released a beta of their bloglines equivalent service, and given that Liferea crashes about four times a day for me I thought I would give it a go. Login et cetera is easy, and the user interface is nice and AJAXy. It’s fairly intuitive as well, although when I was importing my…
Winchester Mystery House
