[PodcastMN] Feedburner and Google

[Garrick Van Buren]

Honestly, I've yet to see functionality that FeedBurner offers that  
is both useful and not available via a WordPress plugin  
(OpenWebAnalytics, WP-Share, etc).

Here's my post on the Feedburner acquisition:

On a less critical note, I still have a 2006 PodcastExpo Feedburner  
XL shirt available to the first person it fits:

I think Feedburner works for places like Engadget (and Google) where  
the focus is on using feeds as an ad-delivery channel. For anyone  
publishing a smaller volume....I strongly encourage everyone to  
maintain control of your feed.
