As the ClickZ article says, "RSS feed aggregator Bloglines has redesigned its interface and launched a blog creation tool, called Clip Blog." Bloglines allows you to create an account on its website and read RSS feeds; the blog tool is an obvious spin-off, as users of Radio Userland know. It's also adding a commercial capacity; "Fletcher said the company will use its substantial knowledge about its users' interests to target ads." But, as the story notes, web browsers are beginning to support RSS. This could hurt sites like Bloglines - why go to the website when the feature is already available in your browser - and without advertising?
