Is this the end?

Started up NetNewsWire 2.1 this morning. I’ve been using Bloglines syncing ever since it was introduced. I signed up for a NewsGator account during the beta, but since Bloglines syncing appeared to continue working, I kept using it.

Until this morning. Every time I try to refresh all, I get a sheet asking for my Bloglines login and password, which I keep entering, and it keeps asking. No joy. It’s not that Blogines is down; I can still access it fine over the web. My suspicion is that either NNW no longer works with Bloglines, or more likely, that Bloglines is blocking requests from NNW, figuring that they don’t want to support the competition. Either way, it’s time to do an OPML export and switch over to syncing with NewsGator. Sigh.
