Hot
on the heels of the well-received Google
Reader re-design, I received a tip tonight (thanks Mike Rundle) that Bloglines has also done a
slight re-design. On their blog they
note:
“You might have noticed a few fancy little changes we’ve made to your
feed tree on the left pane today. You’ll like them even more when you learn
what’s behind the scenes!
- We no longer update the entire left pane when the unread or “kept as
new” counts change. Now the counts update in place with a fading yellow
indicator. The result is a faster, more pleasant way to cruise through your
feeds, especially for those quick on the hotkeys. - We’ve decreased the time between automatic updates to your unread counts
so you don’t have to press the “r” hotkey quite so often.”
It also appears to be a different typeface and a slightly ‘fancier’ look.
Some nice ajax touches. This is just on the left navigation pane though –
the actual reading pane stays the same. It’d be great if the ajax changes could be applied
to the whole screen… maybe they’re making the right pane next year’s upgrade 😉 (kidding)
