Hackathon Episode IV: A New Hack


A long time ago (last Thursday) in a galaxy far, far away (Randolph & Clinton in Chicago)… It's time for the latest installment in the FeedBurner Hackathon series. At 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, January 18, we put "normal" development on hold, gathered together in our new and improved confere ...>

AlwaysOn Media 100 Award


Following Monday's Golden Globes, we hardly had time to get our vintage couture to the cleaners or hurry our borrowed baubles back to Harry Winston before we got word that FeedBurner has won another award to add to our wall of fame (er…window sill of fame, as it were). Today, AlwaysOn Media annou ...>

Headline Animator Overhaul, Part 2


We are a people who like to provide clues to what we're up to, so when we write "Part 1" in a post title, that is our way of signaling the market that there will be other parts, possibly starting with a Part 2. And lo, here we are with the next phase of the Headline Animator Overhaul from brushed me ...>

What’s Up With That? Vol. 1


Judging by the grand total of two comments on last month’s Mystic Statistics Heuristics post, we’re guessing that there aren’t any remaining questions about what we do here at FeedBurner to calculate all those media metrics we provide to our publishers. Or, maybe the post was just too darned l ...>

Mystic Statistics Heuristics


Just in time for the holidays, here's another post about our statistics, and this time we'll describe how we deal with metrics issues, how we think we can improve the kinds of statistics we provide, and admit that despite all this number crunching, we still don't know how many dribs are in a drab (b ...>

Welcome Slashdot and Other OSTG Feeds


OSTG’s feed audience has tripled since the company adopted FeedBurner's feed management services. Coincidence? We think not. Seems fitting to take this opportunity to formally welcome the OSTG family to the FeedBurner family and our ad network. If you think we're geeked out about this news, just i ...>

Dow Jones Debuts Burned, Ad-Ready Feeds and Blogs


It may be about time to put an end to the debate about whether feeds are going mainstream. Adding to our list of 19th century publishers (they're not our first, or even our third: we checked), The Wall Street Journal Online, the largest paid subscription site on the Web, MarketWatch.com, a leading i ...>
