No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Attention those with FeedBurner accounts

by @ 22:27 on February 13, 2009. Filed under The Blog.

Google is finishing its absorbtion of FeedBurner at the end of the month, and as part of that, they are requiring those of us who use FeedBurner to tie it to a Google account. There is a poison-pill incentive at the end of the FAQ:

If you don’t tie FeedBurner to a Google account by the end of the month, you will lose your FeedBurner feed.

Besides the Google account tie-in, they’re stripping away Site Stats (because it competes with Google Analytics, which quite frankly sucks) and FeedBurner Network (because it’s too tied to FeedBurner Ad Network, which was dropped for AdSense).

Beyond that, there’s no changes that should be noticable. There are new addresses for feeds so that they’re on Google servers rather than FeedBurner ones, but the current addresses will redirect to the new ones.
