 Comparing Kinja to Blo.gs on The uber geeks
Any of you reading this, that use Kinja are probably yelling right now, stating that the Kinja Favorites list that I show here is not exactly a good representation of what is actually shown on the site.
With Kinja however, you have the ability to delete multiple favorites using checkboxes, rather than having to click on delete for each favorite you want to trash.
Kinja’s superiority over Blo.gs starts with the fact that not only are the most recent blog URLs moved to the top of your list, but an excerpt of the most recent post is also presented.

 Nick Denton: Kinja is live
Kinja, a project we've been working on for more than a year, has just gone live.
Because Kinja is an RSS reader for people who don't know what RSS is, who don't know what a reader is, for that matter, or don't care.
Kinja will make it that little bit easier for interesting weblog writers, and their potential fans, to connect.

 Kinja, the weblog guide
Kinja is a weblog guide, collecting news and commentary from some of the best sites on the web.
Kinja is designed to bring weblog writers to a broader audience, by making it easier to explore topics, posts and writers.

 Sharing multiple digests could be kinja's killer app... (plasticbag.org)
If you do all that, then Kinja might not just be a simple app for the newbies in the audience but a project with surprising and long-lasting power.
In fact, the only blogs which Kinja isn't tracking (and I've fed in a LOT) are a couple which are updated by crude FTP only, with no CMS at all.
Sure Kinja will show you a snapshot of all the blogs in the 'group/company/mismash' but it's the interaction of discussion of topics that should be the driving force in getting people to think about where/how they interact.

Kinja, the Web app for reading weblogs that Meg and Nick have been working on for the past year +, has launched as a beta.
Kinja provides a nice, clean interface the really does a good job of hiding all of the syndication technology behind it.
Kinja stole their terms of service from Yahoo according to Onlineblog at the Guardian.

 Liloia.com: Nick Denton presents... again.
Indeed, Kinja claims to be able to "digest" blogs that are not RSS-enabled.
Kinja's taking a role as the AOL of aggregators and aiming for users who can't or won't go the DIY route.
Kinja purports to make discovering blogs easier for newcomers; however, when I registered, the first action I was presented with was to add my favorite blogs.

 [No title]
Kinja, co-developed with Meg Hourihan, is a Weblog media project designed to highlight the best that blogs have to offer, to help both novice and advanced blog readers discover new blogs, and generally to make Weblogs more accessible.
Kinja then routinely checks these sites for new posts and creates a personal digest, which the Kinja user can check instead of visiting each site individually.
Because many of Kinja's users are getting their feet wet in the blogging world, they neither need, nor are expected to have, any knowledge of the behind-the-scenes how-tos.

 Back to Kinja (how now, brownpau?)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The new Kinja went completely under my radar when it relaunched, partly because I was in the Philippines at the time, but mostly because all my feedreading had been on Bloglines.
My problem with Bloglines, however, (and this is a problem with me, not with Bloglines) was that I had 252 feeds, (it was over 300 at one point before I did some pruning) and the inbox-like "unread messages" interface became intimidating if I left anything unread for more than a few hours.
To badly mangle the river metaphor, you can't drink a river with a cup; you're supposed to sit on the riverbank and peacefully watch the current flow -- and not try to catch sight of every single boat, beaver, or twig that floats by.

 Kevin Smokler
The fact that I didn't understand Kinja as an Alpha tester is not surprising because I don't understand any web geegaw the first time around.
This was the case with Blogger, with Flickr, with rss readers which I thought Kinja was until I saw this post from Jason Kottke and this one from Tom Coates, whom I've never met but I'm inviting into my Expert Barn.
I thought Kinja would be a kind of souped up reader, all of these things in a nifty web interface, as neat and compact as the Megnut mojo behind it.

 chez pim: Kinja and the new Megnut
Kinja is a weblog portal that allows me to put together my own digest of blogs that I want to keep up with.
Discovering Kinja also rekindled my interest in Megnut, whom I knew long ago when she was still in San Francisco.
Kinja is yet another one of her cool brain children.

 Weblog Tools Collection » Kinja, The Weblog Guide
I was going through my referrer logs and noticed a couple of hits from a site called Kinja and decided to check it out for myself.
The good thing about Kinja is that not only can you keep track of the blogs that you specify (like an aggregator) it also lets you browse for, and add to your list, blogs that other people find interesting and the system keeps track of.
Kinja is still in beta and these are the suggested benefits of this sytem:

 wg:Kinja
I wonder if it wouldn't make more sense to simply link to wg kinja rather than the weirdness that is the current blogroll page.
It would be quite neat if one could subscribe to their kinja roll as rss, or fold their kinja roll into their own site - of course inclusion of the subtle sponsored text links would be a reasonable price for this service.
Also I was interested to see that Kinja will sometimes text scrape a weblog for content rather relying on the rss - I discoved this when I noticed that a WG post as seen in Kinja included authorship and comment data that isn't currently included in the syndication file.

 philwilson.org: Kinja gets it right
The bad side: sadly, Kinja doesn't always seem to get it right, Or rather, it probably gets the basics right, but isn't quite clever enough - as of writing, two posts that Leigh Dodds made back in September are at the top of my reading list as having been posted "2 hours ago".
I'd like to think that something with his RSS publishing has just gone wrong, and Kinja's reflecting that, but it doesn't seem to be the case.
An inspection of his RSS 1.0 file shows that their time/date stamp is as it should be.

 The Kinja that wasn't (Signal vs. Noise)
As far as Kinja was concerned, it took the "scan" concept a bit too literally.
Fundamentally Kinja is about reading, and we felt that would be best accomplished by starting at the top and having a single column to read.
If Kinja had taken this design, or a sibling of it, I would definately find the service more useful, with the present design I do too much scrolling, for not enough information..

 Adrants » Weblog Aggregator Kinja Launched

 Freshblog's Guide to Kinja - Freshblog   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
Not only can you syndicate a site's content using Kinja, but you can now view traffic information, analyze links, track inbounds, see the site on the wayback machine, translate the site, and label the site with tags, all from the profile.
Add favorites looks pretty much unchanged, which is fine with me. The form is a "five at a time" URL input form, and will add sites to your digest.
The advantage of Kinja over some other readers, especially if you're just getting your feet wet in the world of feeds and readers, is that they use autodiscovery tags to find the feed, and so you can input the site URL rather than having to mess about to find the feed URL.

 In defence of Kinja – Le «blog personnel» de Joe Clark
What we have now is a Version 2.0 of Kinja that uses an unchanged approach; now, thought, Kinja also spatters the screen with Sploidesque roundrect boxes listing dozens of allegedly related blogs you can read.
As of this afternoon, Kinja manifestly is not a Failed Redesign.
And in an amusing case of circularity, your collection of RSS feeds in Kinja are themselves an RSS feed that one may subscribe to.

 PmNet. We don’t validate. » Testing Kinja
I’ve devoted some time to playing around with Kinja, a weblog portal that has been generating some buzz in the young, hip and urban blogging circles.
Kinja keeps coming up, squeezed in between the lectures on web standards and the boastings of owning a blueberry iPod mini.
Kinja, still in beta, is trying to position itself as a tool for users who are not comfortable with or accustomed to using RSS feeds or even visiting blogs.

I created on Kinja mix for work, a selection of tech and I.T. sites that I read to keep current and I decided to create a personal one as well.
While the process of adding my blogroll and other sites to Kinja is a bit tedious, I really enjoy the way that the site displays RSS feeds.
While I don't enjoy partial feeds that much, I find Kinja's interface tolerable and an fast way to skim a days blog posts, as long as you have a manageable amount.

 New and improved Kinja launches! - Lifehacker
I've been waiting over a year to write this post: Kinja, the weblog guide, has relaunched with an insanely cool design and tons of killer features for exploring and discovering weblogs.

While I haven't checked code into the Kinja repository since February, my heart's busting with pride to see the vision we talked over and over come to life.

 Jeffrey Zeldman Presents The Daily Report
Many of you have heard of Kinja, “the weblog guide.” Here’s how it’s supposed to work: Jane signs up for a free Kinja account.
The folks behind Kinja have had this fake zeldman up so long, it’s one of the highest-ranking zeldman hits at Google, which is how I stumbled onto it about a month ago.
I hope Kinja finds funding, and, when they do, I hope they spend at least some of it hiring staff to respond to their users.

Out of all the newsmastering portals Kinja is the first I’ve seen in a folksonomy environment, and as we go on you will see it is one step away from being a fully-fledged Reading List folksonomy.
I guess it is a feed folksonomy, but you also get the beauty of seeing feeds organised into user river of news, as well as tag river of news (user and general level), as well as related sites river of news…so it goes futher to being a newsmaster folksonomy.
You can see a river of news for related sites for a given source, here is the river of news from related sources to Library Stuff.

 NevOn: Kinja for handy digests
Kinja operates in a similar way, but I think it's easier on the eye to scan topics and digests the way Kinja presents the info.
By the way, the main person behind Kinja is Nick Denton, founder of the Gawker Media range of web properties.
Kinja is absolutely brilliant, really saves time to have everything in one place.

Pero esta mañana ha echado a andar Kinja, el metablog diseñado por nuestra querida Meg "Blogger" Hourihan, -amiga de correrías nocturnas durante el pasado ArtFutura-, y financiado por Nick Denton, el magnate del imperio Gawker.
Kinja no atraerá inmediatamente a los usuarios avanzados, y estos son los críticos más influyentes en la web.

That's the value proposition Kinja is counting on.
The new service, which went live in beta today, is the product of Nick Denton, the former Financial Times journalist who built the headline syndication service Moreover in the '90s and, more recently, the Gawker Media family of commercial blogs.
The site was also project managed by Meg Hourihan, co-founder of the blog software Blogger back in the day (although Meg curiously greeting Kinja's launch with her 30 days notice).

 Kinja -- Monday, April 5, 2004
A Kinja digest looks much like a weblog, with excerpts arranged in reverse chronological order...We've put ease of use above all else, even at the expense of the tools that power users hanker for.
I was looking forward to the launch of Kinja because (a) it was from Nick Denton (b) there had been quite some buzz surrounding it for the past year.
I think there is a lot more the Kinja team can do - especially on the backend analytics to make blogs easier to find.
