Google pushed me over to their feed system this week. No questions. Subscriber numbers plummeted temporarily on all my Feedburned feeds, but have sprung back up now. There is an issue with myBrand, but that seems to have resolved itself without my having to use the Google recommended settings. So, when the time comes, watch out for those…

Well, it happened today and all my feeds using mybrand took a massive hit on pingability as the new system requires a CNAME mod, I’ve done that today, so hopefully numbers will bounce back higher than ever tomorrow.

I think they’ve been spitting out the emails for about a month, you’ll probably get one soon. It doesn’t say anything about what’s actually happening just that the system is being subsumed, I presume they’ll do a 301 on all feedburner URLs. I just hope they remember to apply it to MyBrand accounts using feeds.mydomain.com etc

I never received said email.

So… the servers are moving but the URLs and such are staying the same?

Well spotted the Trekky reference, Kim. Other people have received this email, some have already been assimilated, it’s happening to others as we speak, it’s only a matter of time.

While I understand why they are doing this I just rebel against anything compulsory. I like your use of borg terminology to describe this.

I have not yet received said email. I believe this is because google is trying to erase my existence from the internet
