As an avid blog reader, I am happy to see that new Bloglines Beta version 3 is available at this time. It was great to see so many improvements that made the Bloglines RSS reader faster and more usable.

Here is a snapshot of a Beta Version that was available to the users this morning:

And here is a snapshot of a current version.

As you can see, the differences are significant in my opinion. It has become easier to move the feeds around as it is faster to drag and drop without having to click the Edit button first.

Here is a list of features/differences that I have noticed so far.

1. New Add Button that makes it easier and faster to add / import feeds
   

2. New Add Folder, Trash and Feeds Settings buttons are located at the very top in a easily accessible location
   
3. New Start Page where frequently accessed or favorite feeds could be dragged and dropped for a quick overview.
4. New 3 Reading Views that include “3 pane view”, “Quick View”, and “Full View”.
