(2010-11-04) Bloglines Merchant Circle Local Portal

Blog Lines is getting taken over by IAC-funded Merchant Circle. The technology will be integrated into Merchant Circle to allow business owners to create RSS feeds on local (HyperLocal) news around their town, or city as well as their specific trade (i.e. feeds around plumbing, law, or construction). Smith says the platform will also be able to bring in feeds of local daily deals and coupons. Do you really want to go to your lawyer's Portal for news?
