blo.gs seems to be broken for good this time

blo.gs seems to be broken for good this time. It'd be very easy for me to write some code to manage my blogroll, but the thing I liked about blo.gs was that it told me when sites updated. I wish I could get that data out of Ping-o-Matic somehow. Without ping data, I'll have no choice but to poll.

Maybe I could use PubSub, but I'd have to have a Jabber client running on my server.

Update: Testing PubSub. Also, what's always been frustrating to me about Blogrolling is that even though they must have the information about the time a site updated, they only expose a flag indicating whether the site has recently updated, where "recently" is some fixed time period you specify in your preferences.

Update: blo.gs just worked for the first time in days for updating my blogroll, but the blogroll on my site isn't mine. Weird.
