Google buys Feedburner for $100,000,000

It has now been confirmed that Feedburner is being bought out by Google for $100 million. Another rumour persists, however, that Feedburner intend to inject Google Ads into feeds. I only hope that Google do not intend to impose this on Feedburner users, but if they do, then this site will swap its feeds over to another source. I choose to keep the site and my feeds free of adverts and if the service is free only if ads are served, I will look elsewhere.

About Writing:

My advice to memoir writers is to embark upon a memoir for the same reason that you would embark on any other book: to fashion a text. Don't hope in a memoir to preserve your memories. If you prize your memories as they are, by all means avoid, eschew, writing a memoir. Because it is a certain way to lose them. You can't put together a memoir without cannibalizing your own life for parts. The work battens on your memories. And it replaces them. Annie Dillard
