Hi World, ASPA Mobile Phone Repair added a FeedBurner! Blog, blogging

We are back! To spice things up a bit on the internet front, we have added FeedBurner for our blog. The feed link is located here at:

Ever heard of FeedBurner? Stupid question, huh…

It seems as if the majority of bloggers use FeedBurner to distribute and track the use of their RSS feeds.

Every day I come across blogs showing off the neat little counter proudly displaying how many subscribers they have, just like so…

Here is the thing I have with Feedburner.

Feedburner feeds are, per default, in a format that looks like this…

http://feeds.feedburner.com/KeywordPhrase


And more strangely, when you view a blog post in a feed reader their URLs look like this…

http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/KeywordPhrase/~3/279888022/

Isn’t this a bit strange? How do you know to which site or post you’re subscribed to or what that post is about?

Another thing is word-of-mouth. Imagine you send the FeedBurner URL of a particular blog post to a friend. You eventually provide a short description to entice him/her to click trough. Yet still, it is fairly hard to imagine what one will find when clicking on such a ghost link.

Whereas, when one sends an RSS feed link of one of my blog posts to someone it is clearer what you will find when you click on it since it serves as a “URL headline.”
