FeedBurner is a news feed management provider launched in 2004 . FeedBurner provides custom RSS feeds and management tools to bloggers, podcasters, and other web-based content publishers. Services provided to publishers include traffic analysis and an optional advertising system. Though it initially was not clear whether advertising would be well-suited to the RSS format , authors now choose to include advertising in two-thirds of FeedBurner’s feeds .
Published feeds are modified in several ways, including automatic links to Digg and del.icio.us, and „splicing” information from multiple feeds . FeedBurner is a typical Web 2.0 service, providing web service application programming interfaces (APIs) to allow other software to interact with it. As of May 2007, FeedBurner hosted feeds for 410,769 publishers.
