Bloglines Beta Launches Saved

We've been busy working on Bloglines Beta to provide some stocking stuffers for everyone during this holiday season. Tonight we rolled out Saved. Later in the week, we'll talk about a couple of other features: Flickr Widget and Blog Preview.

Just as it sounds, this features allows you to save a post for future reference. Many of our Blogliners are active filers who like to save their favorite posts. It's very easy. Let me walk you through the feature.

You'll notice at the bottom of an article a new "Save" button located in-between "Pin" and "Email."

Clicking on the "Save" button creates a new inline window where you can add a comment and save the post to a specific folder.

To get to your saved articles, click on the "Saved" button in the left-hand corner of your screen. Simple!

You might ask, "Why have "Pin" and "Save"?" Sometimes you want article "Pinned" in your reading flow so you're forced to look at it again to really absorb the complexity of the post. Other times, you want to file away those posts that stand the test of time. That might sound very nuanced, but remember if you're reading 1,000 articles a day, like Blogliners, you develop several different reading modes.

BTW - For people using Bloglines Classic, we've migrated your old "Clippings" into "Saved."

Enjoy!
