Switch from FeedBurner to Google

I was just reading Dailyblogtips and came across this news update that all the FeedBurner feeds will now migrate to Google.

Google has acquired Feedburner on June 1, 2007 and now they have finally decided to move from FeedBurner to Google and the deadline to all the users is February 28, 2009 ! And if your account has not been updated then all your feeds will be returning either a “404 Not found” or “301 moved”.

Moving your account from FeedBurner to Google is not a “Big” thing, all you have to do is just click the link which appears on the top which says “Move your account now” as soon as you login to your FeedBurner account.

So when you click the link it will ask you for your Google id by which you’ll be signed in and the transition starts and the time taken to move all your feeds depends on the number of your feeds, so if you have a large feeds then it can even take hours for the transition. Since this process is carried out by the Google servers, you can close the page at any time.

After completion you’ll receive a mail saying that the transition has been successful.
As soon as this is done you’ll have to login from the new Feedburner.

I recommend all the user to migrate right now as this news will be spread like rapid fire and mostly by the starting of February all the users will start their migration and it might take a lot of time in this process.

I already completed mine and if you’d like to read more then go the Transferring FeedBurner Accounts to Google Accounts FAQ page
