Two features have been added to FeedBlitz today which will be of interest to international (i.e. non-English) users.
Firstly, FeedBlitz has been upgraded to handle Windows-1252 encoded feeds, dominant in much of Europe and Latin America. No more strange characters in feeds for users of this codepage.
Secondly, email subject lines are now properly coded using the Unicode (UTF-8) character set - which means that they will read correctly for non-Latin alphabets. For blogs and feeds that use non-Latin codepages (eg. Cyrillic and asian texts), the subject line of FeedBlitz emails will no longer look like "There are 2 new posts in ????????? ????????? ????????????? ? ????????? ???????? ???????????," but will instead look like "There are 2 new posts in Предельно Правдивое Повествование о Правлении Полуэкта Полуэктовича" instead (provided your email client supports Unicode subject lines, of course).
