[...] The more work I do parsing and aggregating feeds, the more annoyed I am with Google’s Feedburner published feeds (part 1). [...]

Jake,

I understand what Feedburner does, that it’s all publisher opt-in, and the metrics-benefit of the things I list above. To me, both a reader and a publisher, these are bugs not features.

Ahhh…Garrick,

I understand your concerns. FeedBurner does nothing to a publishers feed that the publisher doesn’t opt into. We don’t hijack any feeds/clicks from anyone, rather we republish a feed and add any tools that the publisher has selected.

We certainly don’t want to be on anyone’s “pet peeve” list so if you have any other feedback, don’t hesitate to drop us a line!

Hey there Garrick,

We hate to be source of anyone’s pet peeves! I need a bit more info to see if I can clear this up.

What do you mean by redirects? And…landing pages? Are you speaking to our “Browser Friendly” page that a publisher has implemented?

You can send us a note to publishers@feedburner.com if you have any feedback!
