Note: The below is an archived entry from Earthling, formerly EarthLink's official blog. The blog itself has been decommissioned and is no longer updated, and comments are trackbacks are no longer accepted.
Yes, it's true. We've quietly exposed a new RSS reader and social bookmarking application to a small subset of our users.
Steve Rubel and Dave Winer (update: and Mike Arrington) showed up at the door a few hours early for the prom. Our hair's still in curlers, our dress is full of wrinkles, our complexion is a mess. Horror of horrors! We're glad our dates are here, but first a quick sit-down so everyone knows what the evening's expectations are.
- Hey public, feel free to jump in, sign up, and try out both, but...
- We're still rolling out changes and fixing minor stuff. Think iterative.
- There's more on the roadmap for each. I'll be going through some of this on the blog..err..tomorrow I guess. And I'll tell you about known bugs too. So if you don't see something you want, we may be in the middle of addressing it.
- Please think about using our product blogs for the two: Reader and myFavorites to talk to the product and development teams
- If you don't have a free portal account, you can sign up for one here or from the link in the apps.

It is great to see Earthlink become Web 2.0

Wow, that kicks ass! I'm pretty excited that people are noticing. Like Dave says, we do have some pimples to pop, and there are cool features in the works. We're really trying to appeal to more than just the tech crowd, which is why we've taken a fairly simple approach initially. Hope you guys like it, give us feedback, we're welcome to it!
