Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This monitor aims to simplify your life by organizing and keeping you current with all of your favorite blogs. But BlogTick Simple Blog Monitor is simple in name only; figuring out this program is an exercise in frustration.
BlogTick does have one thing going for it: it's unobtrusive. It consists only of a small icon that fits in your system tray. With a help menu nowhere to be found, we immediately were scratching our heads trying to figure out how to work the program. A right-click gave us a brief menu that included a few options for customizing the frequency and the number of blog entries. There's also the option to add a new blog, but we kept getting an error message each time we entered a new RSS feed location. BlogTick includes a default blog with the installation, so we were able to see how the program is supposed to work. Clicking each blog link from the Entries menu took us directly to the actual blog page.
Had a help menu been included, this review probably would have gone in another direction. That being said, users should look elsewhere for a more user-friendly blog monitor.
