Is It Time to Let FeedBurner Burn? | Chris Baskind dot com:

So perhaps it’s time to let FeedBurner burn, and reconsider self-hosted feeds. This decision may not be easy or even possible for sites which are already heavily invested in FeedBurner. But for those who are willing to give up something to get something back — or for new projects — there are potential rewards for going it alone.

This is something I’ve been arguing with myself since I decided to get the new blog set up and running. Initially, I was going to go without feedburner. The other day, I talked myself into it and plugged the feeds into it.

Chris pretty much nails it, though. And I’ve changed my mind again and I’m going back to my initial decision (and my gut feel on the issue, which I should know by now to trust on these things); the feeds get whacked out of feedburner before launch and I think it’s time to start letting it fade to black unless Google does something to change our minds again. It reminds me way too much of what Yahoo did to MyBloglog for my tastes.
