That's Barack with a 'c'. Get the name right, already. He'll be your president before you know it. ;)
On the feedback front, really appreciate the candor. We strive to excel in every aspect of what we do, yet there's always room for improvement. You guys have definitely pushed the envelope, which is helping us improve.
Here's to a long and productive relationship! (Who knows, maybe even well into an Obama administration!)

Barack Obama as President is truly frightening. Then again, so is just about anyone else as President. But I digress.
This is valuable information for those people who are planning to run hundreds of feeds through FeedBurner. But much of it doesn't really apply to those of us with, say, four or five. I don't think that was terribly clear, though I figured it out from context.

I like the "redirect to feeds.b5media.com"; a very elegant solution.
(I'd just like to highlight that for anyone who's scanning this article)

Totally agree with the review. I've been using their services for quite some time now and all I can say - Feedburner rocks (although there's some cons just like you said).

I can't speak highly enough of FeedBurner's customer service, and all the help I've received from the team, especially Matt Shobe. He's a good guy too!

Michael: I'm not trying to sell anyone on FB so much as doing a review of how we have felt about them - which of course is subjective.

I love feedburner... I moved from blogspot to wordpress, and managed to shift over all my subscribers in a blink of an eye :)

nice job, aaron. it was fair and it provides FB with a lot of insight into what their users think, want and need.

Excellent post. You are right on the spot. I use Feedburner and it has been great!

I had an issue with one of my feeds not being recognized and the customer support I received was stellar. They tried to help me in every way possible, even though the issue ended up being a DNS error with my hosting provider. Makes me glad I decided to go with them.

This is great feedback, Aaron. We have a big Foundry rev planned to start in a couple weeks, and I think that some of the things you look for in the API will/should also be available in Foundry. Things like "add all 200 of these properties to the FAN", etc....you should ultimately be able to choose whether you want to use the API or the Foundry UI for some of those "bulk feed management" tasks.

Hey Dick,
Thanks for hopping by. Rick was teasing me with a few of the enhancements this morning. Looking forward to seeing them.

Don't forget about putting your comments through Feedburner as well.
What Feedburner really needs is a service for subscribing to individual comment threads via email so you don't have to put your domains at risk, but then the emails would have to be a little more frequent compared to the daily updates

I like Feedburner's capabilities but their interface could use some help. I had a hard time finding out what exactly things like "link splicer" would achieve.
As well, I fear for feed analytics companies. As RSS becomes mainstream, aren't the big boys (web analytics) simply going to add this functionality and swallow them up? What's the future of feed analytics?
