About Bloglovin
Reading blogs can be a pain in the ass. We created bloglovin´ so
you wouldn’t have to visit un-updated blogs, open ten windows in your
browser, or forget your favorite blogs' web-addresses. With bloglovin´,
we wanted to make your blog-reading fun and easy.
Sounds sweet! How does it work?
Just add all the blogs you want to follow, and then you’ll get
notified every time one of your favorite blogs has written a new blog
post.
Why did you build bloglovin'?
We started building websites in a garage in Täby, Sweden, and
before we started bloglovin´, we were working on our second failed web
project: a fashion-community. To get feedback on that idea, we got help
from three fashion-bloggers — one of them was Carolina Engman. Somewhere
between discussions and coffee breaks, she checked if any of her
favorite blogs had updated. So she picked up a laptop and started typing
in their web-addresses. A bunch of new windows flew up in her
web-browser. Some blogs were updated and others weren’t. It. Was. Chaos.
Here was an opportunity for improvement. Wouldn’t it be sweet if
you had one site that notified you every time one of your favorite
bloggers had written something new?
We scrapped the fashion-community and started over from scratch.
Two weeks later, we had our first, somewhat rusty, version of bloglovin´
up and running. One week later, over 1000 people had signed up.
Sure, there were other blog readers out there, but they were
technical, boring, and cluttered with features. We wanted to build
something for the rest of us. For everyone who doesn't care about the
technology behind it. For everyone who just wants things to work.
