Ask.com to Shutter Bloglines Oct. 1
Oct. 1 will be the end of the line for Bloglines, as Ask.com announced in a blog post that it will shutter the Web-based RSS reader and news aggregator to refocus on its Q&A business model and due to the emergence of social-media sites like Facebook and Twitter.
From the blog post:
Primarily, it’s about focus. Our focus here at Ask is on building out our Q&A offering. Our beta, released
in a very limited fashion at the end of July, is seeing steady community growth with an answer-to-question ratio of 2:1, which underscores the fact that people are motivated to provide answers.
