Old Feedburner Links Gone!!

posted Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

It does not help to be on vacation while Google decides to do away with the old Feedburner links.

I managed to miss the whole fun of it, got busy with other projects when I got back and never realized that my RSS feed was kaput.

At least a warning or an email from Google would have been nice but I’m still waiting.

So today when I clicked on my RSS feed by chance, I was shocked to discover a 404 error.

Ahhh so that is why people were asking how to subscribe to my RSS feed and I was wondering why when the links were all over the place.

Ow! That is all I can say when I think of all those people who might have subscribed.

And now thanks to migrating to Google, my RSS feed subscriber count is back to the (in this case) not so happy figure of 1.

If you are like me and missed the whole Google-Feedburner issue altogether, make sure to check your RSS feeds asap. And once you migrate, don’t bother looking around Google Feedburner for a link to your feed … they will email it to you. For the life of me I still cannot find it at the site. Anyone else?

    Wow that really sucks. Why did they do away with the old feeds (and not simply migrate those subscribers elsewhere somehow)? Pretty surprising for G. Usually they don’t do things like that.

    The strange thing in my case is that the main link is the same – they just changed the last part from /Erum-M to Erum. Still don’t get why they’d do that and break my RSS links. So now it is sadly back to 0 subscribers and time to build up again until they export the old ones, if any are left by now.
