As of Friday, I’m moving on to a new gig. The last few years with Bloglines have been fun, but it’s time to do something new. Thanks to everyone at Bloglines for making my time there memorable and for working together to make a great online feed reader.

Best. Article. Title. Ever.

Amazon is running a promotion on their Prime service, giving you one month for free. We’ve been prime members for the last three years or so and we love the service. It damn near pays for itself come holiday season… After the first month, it’s $79 a year for free two-day shipping on many items and $3.99 next-day service.

Here’s what they have to say about it:

What is Amazon Prime?

Amazon Prime is a popular Amazon.com program that gives its members unlimited Free Two-Day Shipping on millions of eligible items. All new members are offered a free trial, allowing them to experience the convenience of shopping with Amazon Prime benefits for an entire month at no charge.

Amazon Prime members enjoy the following benefits:

Fast Delivery

• Unlimited Free Two-Day Shipping on millions of items
• Upgrades to One-Day (Overnight) Shipping for just $3.99 per item

Simple Shopping

• No minimum purchase required
• Members-only 1-Click buttons on product pages
• No need to think about shipping charges

Convenient Sharing

• Members can share benefits with up to four family members living in the same household

Free Trial

• Amazon Prime new subscribers are invited to try Amazon Prime free, for one month.

After the Free Trial period, customers will be automatically charged the $79 annual fee unless they choose not to upgrade to regular annual memberships at or before the end of the trial period.
