Searchfox to close doors January 25th.

SearchFox will shut down on January 25, 2006
Thanks for all your help in making SearchFox what it is. We have enjoyed providing this service, and hope that you have enjoyed using it. Please export all of your links and an OPML file with your RSS sources before the site shuts down. In accordance with our privacy policy, we will delete all personal information on January 25 after we shut down the services.

Tonight when I logged on to my favorite RSS aggregator-reader I was presented with their Going Out of Business notice. Ouch! I am a beta tester for Searchfox and just love it. Techcrunch sent me their way, and I fell in love with after I finally understood it. It took about 3 weeks for SF to learn my reading habits, and from then on it served up my favorite subjects at the top of my list. There is no other information. Their last official blog post was in November. Before SF I used Onfolio and Blogbridge. What do you recommend I use now?

Hey Russel, have you checked in with BlogBridge 'recently'? We've been adding stuff and refining what we had pretty quickly. I'd love to win you back! Please email me with questions or suggestions -- I would LOVE to win you back!
