Recently I noticed  my RSS feed counter has been showing wrong count. Almost 400 subscribers are missing from my count.

Thus, I thought it’s time to Switch from Feedburner to Google. As you remember after Google acquired FeedBurner, they have been encouraging people to move their FeedBurner account to Google. Everyone must move by February 28, 2009.

 

Why is FeedBurner merging its product with Google’s?

Our vision when FeedBurner joined Google was to help bring the best of what FeedBurner offered in syndication publisher tools and solutions to the AdSense platform, and vice versa. In the time since the merger, the FeedBurner engineering team has joined the Google engineering team (but still focuses on the same set of tools for RSS monetization, analysis, and optimization) and is not managed as a separate company or subsidiary.

Why do I need to transfer my account?

We are moving all FeedBurner accounts to Google Accounts.

Since Google’s acquisition of FeedBurner, Inc. on June 1, 2007, we have been moving the FeedBurner application to Google hardware, software, and data centers. This allows the application to scale and perform like most Google applications and integrate easily with other Google platforms. It also means more reliability in delivering your content, analytics, and monetization, as well as a more secure and consistent experience for your users.

In order to provide an integrated experience and to support the new features we have planned for our feed platform, as well as to improve security, it is necessary for logins to be handled via a Google Account. from FAQ
