Bloglines has released a new feature to their RSS reader application. It’s called playlists. Basically a summary collection of a group of your favorite or topical feeds. Kind of like a “river of news” functionality I believe.
Playlists lets you create short groupings of feeds to access from your main list. Create as many as you like, and use them to personalize your Bloglines experience that much more. Create them, change them, even delete them–all without changing your original “tree” of feeds. What song playlists are to your MP3 library, Bloglines Playlists are to your Bloglines blogs & feeds.
Glimpse gives you a quick look at your new playlists.
Want a quick look of those Playlists you just created? That’s what Glimpse is for. Click on one of your Playlists in your left nav and you’ll see the first five posts for every feed in that Playlist. Don’t like the order of your feeds? Drag and drop ‘em until you do. It’s easy. Plus, you can set one Playlist up as a default–and it’ll be the first thing you see every time you launch Bloglines.
No time to play with these new features now for me, but I’ll see what they’re all about eventually. Anyone else have any thoughts or experiences with these latest tools?
