Since October some subscribers to The Squid List have had problems receiving email from the list. Email subscriptions for The Squid List are handled by FeedBurner which converts the RSS feed to email. I tried deactivating and then re-activating FeedBurner’s email subscriptions service, but that just seemed to make the problem worse. There doesn’t seem to be any way to contact FeedBurner for support, so if anyone has any ideas how to get in touch with them, it would be greatly appreciated. In the meantime, you can always access The Squid List directly through the online calendar, get updates...
We noticed that Feedburner’s Feedflares - the widgets below posts in feeds - stopped displaying on Thanksgiving morning - they’ve yet to be fixed. Meanwhile, logging into your account and attempting to view stats delivers the above message. We’ve heard multiple reports of this issue: are Mashable readers suffering the same problem? We’re intrigued, too, about how readers feel about Google’s acquisition of Feedburner: has service improved, stayed the same, or become worse? ---Related Articles at Mashable | All That's New on the Web:Feedburner, aka The Splog SlayerFeedburner Comes to Blogger: Google Analytics Next?Google Nixes FeedBurner’s “All Time” StatsGoogle...
A growing number of blogs are now including community news sections, including DesignM.ag. My experience with the news section is that it’s a great way to encourage readers to get involved by submitting items, and it can also reward them with a link and some traffic, not to mention that it gives readers the latest blog posts that might interest them without needing to search through tons of blogs to find them.The community news is especially popular on design and development blogs, but not as much outside of this niche. I also have a blog, Traffikd, where I write about topics...
Before you read this post, you might want to know a little bit more about subscribing and rss so that you can keep things in context! Got it? Great. Feedburner is a tool that many bloggers (including myself) use to: a) Provide blog readers with an rss feed of their posts b) Track their rss subscription statistics (ie: how many people are subscribed to their blog) Without a doubt it’s a decent tool, but here’s the problem: it’s not terribly reliable. Just check out a screenshot of my supposed subscription stats over the last couple of weeks: Feedburner Stats These...
People often ask me which PR blogs I read. Saying ‘a lot’ isn’t what they expect to hear but that’s what I do – I read a lot of PR blogs. Or rather, I subscribe to a lot of PR blogs in my RSS reader via an aggregated feed of blogs that are members of the Public Relations Network on Feedburner. That network – which has a combined subscriber total of around 30,000 – was started by David Jones in 2006 and currently comprises content from some 50 bloggers across North America, the UK, continental Europe and Australia. I...
Filed under: Design, Internet, Web services, iPhone, WebIf you don't know anything about the iPhone, the MobileSafari browser, or web design in general, creating an iPhone version of your website can be daunting. Intersquash.com makes it easy. Just put in the address of your site's RSS feed, give it a name, and click iPhoneize. If you want, upload an icon. That's all you have to do: Intersquash gives you a little bit of code to paste into the body of your site, and it's magically optimized for iPhone viewing.Last time I looked, Intersquash had already iPhonized around 2,000 websites.
