Product Code Database
Bloglines was a web-based news aggregator for reading Web syndication feeds using the RSS and Atom formats. Users could subscribe to the syndicated feeds for free using a web browser. Bloglines offered an application programming interface that maintainers of web could use to write software to read feeds, search its database of feed entries, and ping the service when a website was updated. Bloglines became unavailable in early 2015.
Ask.com announced that Bloglines would be shut down effective November 15, 2010. However, on November 4, 2010, on-line marketing company MerchantCircle announced that it would assume control of Bloglines. On May 26, 2011, Reply! Inc. acquired MerchantCircle for $60 million in cash and stock. The transaction was completed in Q3 2011.
In December 2015 Bloglines had been down for at least 320 days, but users still can retrieve their subscriptions list from Netvibes using their Bloglines account.
