How To Make a Blog

Feedburner.com shuts down


I logged into my feedburner.com account and was welcomed with a message that I had to move my feeds from feedburner.com to feedburner.google.com. It listed all of my blogs and a link to move them. It gives the opportunity to create a google account if you don't already have one. I was already signed and that's where I wanted them so I hit the button.

All of my feeds are now hosted in the google data center. I guess I should feel safer. ;-)

If you haven't logged into your feedburner account in a while, you probably should: More details on moving to a Google account

On February 28th, if you have not moved your feeds to a Google Account, the traffic to your feeds will not be cut off or terminated, but you will not be able to view or manage your feeds until you have moved to a Google Account, unless you use MyBrand. Technically, this means that all traffic will now be served out of our Google data centers, and there will still be a way to move your account that will be in place indefinitely.

You will not be able to log back into your feedburner account once you move your feeds. Then again, you won't need to. I've read some people complain about the move but I have been satisfied with the various services I've used from google so I don't mind it. My biggest hope is that the intermittent interruptions will be fixed now that feedburner has really been moved to a google data center.
