I’ve also noticed that clicking on a burned feed in a browser now only gives the option of subscribing via google reader or adding to a google web page. One of the reasons I started using feedburner was because that page would show chicklets for all of the popular feed readers. This is worrying indeed.

I’m getting Error 500 on the Feedburner feeds of my blog and it’s been 3 days. Could they be migrating to Google servers? I’m afraid Feedburner would go the same way as MeasureMap after Google bought them.

I’ve noticed the same problem. Definitely out-of-sync.

I hate this because my self esteem fluctuates with my feedbuner count. One day it dropped about 40% and I wanted to slit my wrists. One day it accidentally went 500% up - I thought to myself - look out Tony Morgan - here I come! It dropped the next day though. Now I am afraid to look. I may need to call my wife and get her to hide the sharp objects in the house.

i had the same issue, tony, and mine happened about the same time yours did. i saw your post on the feedburner forums and watched to see if you got an answer. i just checked again and still nothing. let me know if you hear anything from them.

clearly, there was not much pre-marital counseling involved in this relationship…:-)

Try the forums. The have paid moderators that filter the junk, but legit concerns like this one are usually picked up pretty quick and passed along to the FB team.

I totally agree. I am getting tired of them mis-reporting my subscribers and especially missing all the google stuff. The customer service has completely tanked since the takeover. One thing that annoys me the most is that analytics and feedburner pro stats don’t match at all.

I keep thinking there will be some sort of “aha moment” when they unveil some master product that synchs it all together. But I’m starting to doubt that.
