Important Message for RSS Subscribers – This Feed is Moving

Two and a half years ago, I moved my blog from Google’s Feedburner service to Feedblitz, due to concerns over the continuation of Google’s service.

Because of these concerns, it made sense to make the switch to Feedblitz to ensure delivery of this blog by either email or RSS.

Unfortunately, the experience with Feedblitz has been a poor one. Very limited email templates, delivery issues, and wonky metrics that fluctuated all over the place made for a frustrating time – especially for a paid service, and one where its competitors offered far more for the same price.

So, I moved my email off Feedblitz a few months ago, and this weekend I moved my RSS feed off Feedblitz too, and back over to Feedburner Feedio.

If you subscribe to this blog by RSS, there’s currently a 30 day redirect from the Feedblitz feed. This means you’ll still get any posts I publish between now and the end of February, at least.

To continue receiving posts after then, you need to update your feed with the following address:

http://www.feedio.co/@dannybrown

And that’s it – simple! Thanks for subscribing so far, and I hope to see you around after I finally close the door on Feedblitz.

Cheers!

Would You Trust Google With Twitter?

This Goes Out To. . .From Techcrunch to the Washington Post and beyond, the rumours/semi-rumours of Google buying micro-blogging site Twitter continue.

There’s enough already being written on the subject, so I’ll keep this brief.

Two words – Gmail and Feedburner. One is Google’s email program and the other’s a blog analytical? tool for stats, readers, clickthroughs, etc. But here’s the thing.

According to my Gmail account, it’s still in beta. Despite officially celebrating it’s 5-year anniversary on April 1. Then there’s Feedburner, which was the best friend of bloggers everywhere – until Google took it over. Now it’s the devil in disguise, with constant feed failures and fluctuating statistics.

So, an email system 5 years in beta and the destruction of many bloggers’ favourite tool.
