Its the news of the year and its some really hot news. Google’s acquisition of FeedBurner has now been made official. FeedBurner and Google both have published about the big deal of the year on their respective blogs. The rumored price of $100 million is still a mystery but at least we know that FeedBurner is now a family of Google
Google’s Acquisition of FeedBurner
It was the biggest buzz of the year when it came to rumors that the big search engine daddy has plans to acquire the pseudo “Google of Feeds” i.e. FeedBurner. It was rumored that it is going to be a deal worth $100 million but still that has not been confirmed yet. The Official Google Blog and FeedBurner Blog both have blogged about the great deal but have not disclosed the acquisition price yet.
Google + FeedBurner = Google of Feeds
Google is very pleased about its new acquisition and promises to provide enhanced tools for FeedBurner which can help users interact with web content in a more efficient manner. Moreover Google says that this will improve the experiences of feed users, advertisers, and publishers.
FeedBurner, on the other hand, is also very much happy about being acquired by Google and proclaim that this partnership will bring more to the users and will open a new dimension to rss and feed content

No..
I am not optimistic about this, Google will know everything about a site, with this purchase and I am afraid, they will use this data to reduce the importance of small sites like mine
which don’t have enough readers via feeds
Oh never
Google loves blogs/sites with fresh content and so does FeedBurner. This will help Google monitor the user and content statistics of blogs in a more efficient manner. Moreover I am waiting for Google to officially announce Adsense For Feeds which is a long awaited program by publishers still in the BETA stage.
Lets see how well Google goes with FeedBurner
