rss by Jinho.Jung

This is just general information for house keeping issues regarding this site. If you are one of the people who follow this site via the RSS feed, there may or may not be issues in the next few weeks. For my feed I am using the very competent and clever services provided by Feedburner. Now, I am not the only one finding them good, and in fact Google found Feedburner so good they decided to buy the company.

As I (like most of western society) have a Google account, the theory is that the transition from Feedburner to Google will be fairly seam-less, and that we will notice little to no change in how the service works. The reality is currently somewhat confusing though, and I right now feel like I’m in between two accounts, and not entirely sure which one it picks up. Last night I could log-in to my “new” account (using my Google username etc) on the Feedburner site, after some confused clicking around. Today I can’t, as in at all, and have to use my old Feedburner credentials. One of the feeds has 0 subscribers, the other one has the old number, both of them pointing to the originating feed from this site.

I’m letting you know I shall hopefully have clarity on the matter in the next few weeks, and that it until then might be patchy on the RSS front. Otherwise: be careful out there.

Edit: Apparently not just me: www.techcrunch.com/2009/01/22/feedburner-needs-to-get-it-together/ can tell you more about it.

Edit2: This article is obviously dated now, and it all seems to be back and working in normal fashion.
