    βloglines or Typepad weird glitches

    Anyone else noticed that Bloglines is really playing up? The first that I noticed was when a colleague emailed me to say that some odd stuff was appearing in my Bloglines listing for my 'I want to' weblog with things that I hadn't done. Then I saw that in Twitter there were various postings attributed to me which weren't mine - they came from the blog of 'The London Paper'. I just checked Bloglines again this morning and saw that Ian Snowley seems to have a bunch of the same entries in his listing, but when you go to his weblog (as with mine) the entries are not there.

    The only other common element that I can see is that mine, Ian's and the London Paper all have Typepad accounts, so maybe that's the one causing the problem instead?

    Anyone else seen anything similar?

    Comments

    Not just you, I noticed it as well. I got the same posts appearing in different feeds, all from a blog I have never even heard of let alone read.

    I'm a software engineer at Bloglines and yes, this was Typepad's fault. Their feeds had the same problem in Google Reader.

    This is Typepad's fault - apologies to Bloglines. From the Typepad site:
    "On March 6, 2008 we experienced a brief problem with our feed service on TypePad. Some TypePad users were affected, where another blog's entries appeared to be coming from their feed. We've corrected the problem and feeds are now rendering correctly, but your readers may still see these incorrect entries in RSS reading applications (like Google Reader). We're very sorry for the confusion this issue may have caused you and your readers -- and we're working hard to make sure it doesn't happen again."

    I'm glad that Bloglines isn't 'playing up', it's an essential tool to me. But I do get a message like "there seems to be a communication problem" quite often. I use the Beta version, which is great, but I would very much like to see full functionality implemented.
