bloglines has opened the beta of their latest version to the public, and it’s looking great. richard has a complete review and tour of the 3.0 beta, but here is a snapshot of the two main new features:

1. drag-and-drop management for the feed page and personalizeable start page

the drag-and-drop functionality lets you manage your feed page as well as your personalizeable start page by simply dragging items across panes.

2. three different views for reading your feeds

you can view all your feeds in one place (the quick view), read the titles and clippings from posts one by one (the full view), or, use the three-pane view that separates the feeds, the post titles, and the post contents into separate panes (the view is reminiscent of desktop mail applications).
