Google Ate FeedBurner
June 3rd, 2007 Posted in Internet and TechnologyYesterday I logged onto FeedBurner to check my feed stats and found out that Google has acquired FeedBurner. The rumor that Google is buying FeedBurner has been going on for a couple of weeks or so has come to an end. How much Google paid for this deal is unknown but if you perform an internet search by putting Google and FeedBurner, $100 million in search results will catch your eye.
It is not surprising that Google wants to enter the rapidly growing RSS Feed ad market. FeedBurner has gained so much popularity that it will be an easy access for Google into the RSS world. This is a very smart move and my guess would in the future, Google would want to buy sites like Technorati, Netvibes, StumbleUpon etc. We have to wait to see how many more sites Google acquire. A Dawn Journal uses and recommends FeedBurner and congratulations to FeedBurner.
