  1. Hi TT,I followed up on this and rgeistered for Feedblitz’s free migration guide.Then I got an email from Feedblitz, and I am copying the opening couple of paragraphs here.If anything is likely to put me off changing to Feedblitz, this is. (I may still change to them if that is all that is on offer at some point in the future, but not if I can avoid it .)Hi there:Let’s talk nitty gritty. FeedBurner is a free Google service, and FeedBlitz charges a modest fee.Free is pretty cool, but then again if you’re here then perhaps free is getting frustrating. Not worth the price, you might say.You’re not alone. At FeedBurner there’s no support, minimal branding, nobody there who cares about you, your audience or your business.Features are worse than stagnant; they’re taking them away. The Twitter socialize feature has been hidden from people who weren’t already using it. The APIs are formally deprecated. Does that sound like a service that Google’s committed to? Does the complete lack of interaction from Google on the FeedBurner forums, despite years of pleas and constant customer frustration, give you any confidence at all?Ask yourself: Is FeedBurner a service with a future? Is it what you want to rely on for managing, tracking and distributing your content to your subscribers? What do Google’s actions and indifference say to you?
