Rojo gets a facelift

The Social RSS reader Rojo unveiled a new look last night, announced on the Rojo blog.

This is my reader of choice, so it took me by surprise seeing these changes - the look is cleaner with new fonts and icons, but it appears at first glance that some of the functionality has been moved.
  • The Explore page is gone - replaced by a Today page (It's not clear what this page is showing - is it Read posts, or Tagged ones, or both?)
  • The Tag box is replaced by a link (this extra step may discourage tagging - the prime differentiator for Rojo)
  • Favicons are moved down to the expanded item
  • Permalinks are tied to the Rojo database, not the original source (they are called Rojolinks)
I'm not sure yet if I like the changes - I ditched Bloglines some time ago and fell in love with Rojo's tagging and community features. Tagging is starting to show up elsewhere - Feedlounge uses it to do personal categorization, and if they start to do the community cloud features I may be tempted to switch.

The Rojo Forums have a thread started to discuss these changes.
