REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 7, 2004 -- Bloglines (http://www.bloglines.com), the world's most popular free Internet service for searching, subscribing, publishing and sharing news feeds (RSS and Atom) and blogs, today celebrated its one-year anniversary by launching a raft of expanded features for its rapidly growing user base. Top among the new features is Bloglines Clip Blog, the first blog creation tool to be fully integrated with a rich web news-reading service. For more information about Bloglines Clip Blog, see http://www.bloglines.com/about/clipblog.

Recently named one of Time Magazine's "50 Coolest Web Sites", Bloglines searches and indexes more than 80 million web articles and, with five million hits a day, commands the market lead as the most comprehensive, integrated and full-featured service for searching, subscribing, publishing and sharing Internet content from news feeds and blogs.

"Search portals are rooted in the past, and are ill-prepared to handle the tsunami of rich syndicated content that is now crashing onto the web. For many people, Bloglines is replacing traditional sites like Yahoo! and Google as their home page of choice because we do a better job of keeping them up to the minute on the topics they care about," said Mark Fletcher, CEO of Bloglines. "We believe the future of the web is all about bringing together dynamic, personalized content so people can create community around ideas and current events."
