I’m a very happy user of FeedBurner, the wonderful feed management service from Google. I’ve been using it since early 2006, and I log on multiple times every day to keep track of my feeds. I’d like to talk about some features and options that I’d love to see on the site.

As I re-arranged the categories on my blog, I tracked the 404 errors through the plugin. On Saturday morning, I noticed the following bit of information in my log:

» Go to this post… is Trevor Carpenter! I announced the drawing on Tuesday, 9/25, and the deadline was the evening of Friday, 9/24. I’m going to mail the book to Trevor shortly.
Trevor has a few websites, and they’re all worth mentioning. First we have his personal site/blog, then his photoblog, called CamarilloWalk, his professional photography site, called Scribe [...]
This is Part Two of a mini-series on microblogging services such as Twitter, Jaiku and Pownce. You can read Part One here.
I promised you yesterday that I’d continue to discuss microblogging services in today’s post, and in particular, to show you how I use them to promote my own content and that of other bloggers.
First, [...]
When Twitter came on the scene, no one knew quite what to make of it. “What’s the point?” was the most frequently asked question. When Jaiku got started about the same time, people again asked that same question. When Pownce got started recently, I was the one asking that question. As a matter of [...]
» Go to this postAfter getting home this evening, I remembered (and it wasn’t the first time) that I’ve neglected to write about my blog’s first birthday. It is, after all, a momentous occasion, and needless to say, one I won’t encounter for some time again…
If you haven’t already, have a quick look at the About page. [...]
