Copyright Chief Lines Up With Google Book-Deal Opponents

Google is throwing conciliatory gestures at the wall in an effort to preserve an agreement that would let it digitize millions of books, but so far, none seems to be sticking. The head of the U.S. Copyright Office is the latest to stand in opposition to the deal between Google and two groups representing authors and publishers.

What’s all the hubbub about PubSubHubbub?

One of the questions we get from publishers most often is “How do I make sure updates to my feed are delivered to feed readers as fast as possible?” We know this is important to our publishers’ businesses and we are constantly making improvements to our back-end systems to minimize the time from when you publish a post to when it appears to subscribers in feed readers.Recently there have been a lot of developments around the so-called “real-time” web. The promise of the real-time web is distributing new information as quickly as possible. This encourages users to engage in more…

Facebook Switches “Kisses” Page Name To OraBrush, Turns Publisher Back On (Updated)

In a strange turn of events Facebook has switched the “Kisses” page name to OraBrush, the brand who initially acquired the page. The process has been an interesting one as Facebook began randomly disabling the publishers for generic Facebook Pages. Now we are hearing that large generic Pages are being converted back into the brand names but that’s based on a number of variables, some of which were provided to us off the record.

We have reached out to Facebook for clarification on what appears to be an updated strategy but have not yet heard back. I will be updating…

Be it declared, a map for every feed!

One of the most compelling reasons that publishers choose FeedBurner is that it gives them the tools to record and analyze how many users are consuming their content. Late last week, we launched an enhancement to our item statistics that enables publishers to get a bit more information about those users. Similar to the feature by the same name in Google Analytics, the “Map Overlay” page provides a breakdown of the previous day’s item statistics from a geographic perspective.For feeds with item stats enabled, clicking on the “Map Overlay” item from feedburner.google.com will bring you the page. From your AdSense…

Facebook Shuts Down SocialReach For Violating Platform Terms

Last night Facebook took aggressive action to stop the increased level of application Facebooks ads that are in violation of Facebook’s terms by shutting down SocialReach.

Around midnight last night the company sent out the following letter to all publishers:

Universal Exports, at your service

As feed consumption continues to grow, many or our publishers are adding more and more feeds to their Google accounts, and wishing to analyze, publicize, and monetize those feeds through the combination of AdSense for feeds and FeedBurner.

You are then at your leisure to slice, dice, add, subtract,…

The 411 on the 502

As many of you know, since becoming a part of Google in June of 2007, the FeedBurner team has been hard at work transforming FeedBurner into a service that uses the same underlying architecture as many other Google applications, running in the same high-volume datacenters. As a team, we chose this path for one reason: our highest priority is making sure your feed is served as fast as possible after you update your content, and is as close as technically possible to being available 100% of the time.As many of you also know, a month ago we opened up ability…
