Web 2.Over: Google Buys FeedBurner
23 May 2007 in Feedburner, Google by GarrickConsistent with my hypothesis that Google is a social gesture company, they bought FeedBurner (a company finally reaching its only exit strategy, Thank god).
Four Predictions:
- Six Apart now pulls auto-FeedBurning from TypePad blogs due to conflict of interest.
- Google incorporates FeedBurners metrics into Google Analytics and sends the rest of FeedBurner to play with Dodgeball.
- More than half of FeedBurner’s current customer-base will wonder why the hell they even used the service.
- The downturn is in full effect
