It will be good for the web, Google, when Feedburner finally works right
Google likes to talk about how it promotes technology that benefits the entire web - open standards for social networking, white-space broadcasting, etc. Which is why it’s really frustrating that a core web service that it already owns, feed distribution service Feedburner, keeps having problems - even as it moves to a more reliable new system.
This morning it went down for more than an hour, essentially preventing a number of blogs and other web sites from distributing articles through the Really Simple Syndication (RSS) standard to feed-reading applications, news aggregators, and other web services.
We’ve previously covered issues with lost or greatly delayed feeds. The ongoing problems may be causes by Google not providing the Feedburner team with enough resources (engineers, servers, etc.) to manage the problems.
