BlogBridge aggregator hits 1.0

BlogBridge, the aggregator I've been using for a few months in beta, has gone to 1.0. There are a few things to like about it, not least of which is that it's a free, open source project done by someone I know well and trust 100%, Pito Salas.

Blogbridge is a client, but it stores your info on a server so you can use it on multiple machines. It tries to help you discover new weblogs by noting links in your feeds. You can rate your feeds and this somehow magically gets fed into a community rating system. (I'm not finding the rating system very helpful to me.) You can set keywords and ask to see only posts that contain them.

In short, BlogBridge has been doing the job for me.

Really would have liked to try this - feedback on links and feeds is exactly what I want...remains to see how useful though...

But when I went to install, it didn't install and the FAQ explanation for the error is wrong and there is no way I can find to get any feedback...

So maybe when V2 comes out...

Sorry to hear you had problems with the install. Note that you need to have a working Java installation. Anyway, I would be more that happy, in fact eager, to help you get unstuck. 24x7 personalized support :-) Please contact me (rps\at\salas\dot\com) and I think we can get you going quickly!

Could someone more technically competent than me add the term "bridgeblog" to Wikipedia, please?
