I run a DS-related podcast and ever since I’ve moved the feed as instructed by Google and Feedburner I’ve had nothing but problems. It takes longer for newer episodes to obtain enclosures – even when re-synching. There’s no way to check the actual feed content via the Feedburner interface – in my case my feed now shows up in Sage and I’m forced to add it as a bookmark. Even then I’m more disconnected than ever from my feed.

iTunes has stopped picking up the episodes and I’m no longer able to fix the problem. I’m running out of creative desire to continue researching and putting out new episodes because the feed is broken. I’ve started looking for other methods of podcast delivery as I’m not podcasting for money but only for entertainment. I’ll post again if the situation changes but for now it looks like Libsyn for me…

@marblehost, I don’t see a Blog or RSS feeds on your link… but you must be talking about an other Blog you write on then.
It is not FeedBruner who is failing, it is just moving into the Google domain.

You also don’t need to use advertisments in your feed, it is just an option like it was on Feedbruner.com since they were taken over by Google.
Google only is promoting it a lot harder then before.
So just keep using the service as it is on Google and you will keep your feed readers and can continue building your Brand.

Hello,

I too am wondering about other options for feed management. I don’t put ads in my feed nor do I really try to monetize my blog because the reason I write it is primarily as a service for public educators and to build reputation for consulting work. That said, when FB fails I feel like I’m losing contact with my subscribers who are crucial to building a good brand.

Thanks for sharing my link there. I’m glad the move went smoothly for you, it was a lot bumpier for quite a few. My feed subscriber count is down to 0 today because of it… :(
