I only understand all this junk in a superficial way, by I do know that it's something that I wouldn't mind understanding more, because there's most likely a lot of untapped potential in the technology. Some dark suburban bedroom somewhere (in INDIA) our next Bill Gates is looking into it right now.

It gives me some interestingly detailed stats and a nice kit of features like a "smart" rss page that works with a wide slew of aggregators, and republishing scripts and the interface is easy to use. The login page is even easy, which is no small thing nowadays. The only thing is, I don't think you can hack your own xml. But I haven't really tried (like I got time for that, right?) so I could be wrong. I love feedburner.

I might actually convert to using something like Feedburner (so I can keep track of stats more), but we'll see. Do people like Feedburner? Good call about the RSS feeds Zeno.

Cnet Newsburst hasn't been updating you for a few days now. But Google pers. homepage has been, along with the 117 other aggregators I use. (But don't worry about that newsburst thing. I'm sure it's no big deal.) Mainly, if you change the rss url, post the new one so us feed users can resubscribe. Don’t forget to give some attention to your RSS feed.
