Bloglines: Security Hole
If you use Bloglines, you need to read this. It's a pretty significant security issue. In addition, it's a sign that Bloglines is unresponsive. While fixing a security hole is high priority, they also still haven't fixed this either. That's from September, by the way. So, I'm in search of a new web-based aggregator. Any suggestions?
Update: Check out the comments. They're aware of the problem and working on it. Let's hope this is a sign of increased responsiveness in the future.

Bloglines is now aware of the security issue and is working on a fix.
Regarding the Atom issue, we are aware and pledge to fix the problem as soon as possible.

Good to hear. I'll update the main post to indicate that. I hope you guys post about this publically, including your plan to be more responsive in the future.
I'm glad to hear that Bloglines is now pledging to fix these long-standing problems, but I would like to know what specific management changes were made that could lead us to believe that Bloglines will actually be maintained.
