Cheap sales site disguised as help site

Subscribe to te list and you will get emails like:

To celebrate, and as a special promo to my subscribers, I
had earlier dropped the price of my signature ebook, 5
Steps to a Saner Life, from US$99 to US$29.

I just realised I forgot to raise the price back up again!

That is really no way to run a business. Sigh.

And I have to rush out for a client meeting now, so I can't do
anything about the price for awhile.

I'll change the price back up to normal in a little while, but
you're welcome in the meantime to take advantage of my
carelessness.


Rajen has time to compose the lengthy mail but no time to raise the price ?

I would not trust the value of this guy's books at all unless I am interested to write sales letter like the above.

Bloglines vs Newsgator

Recently, I had some issues with client Pluck and I looked for a web-based rss reader.

I tried Newsgator Online for many weeks. It's better than Pluck web edition, but it was slow.
That was the reason I used client Pluck - faster aggregation and response.

And I had to click on all the pages to mark all the blogs read.
Otherwise the unread blog count just keep increasing.
This became a tedious housekeeping task.

I looked further and found Bloglines.
It's faster than Newsgator.
It has a convenient 'Mark all read' feature - no more housekeeping.
And it has 2 unsynchronised panes - one for the folders, one for the blogs.
This is a bonus - in Newsgator, the Folder pane and the blog is synchronized. This means as I scroll down a blog, the folders also scroll out of view.

For now I am keeping Bloglines.
