Google today announced a new feature that impacts bloggers – a new URL shortener that integrates with Feedburner and a new ’socialize’ feature on Feedburner.
This allows bloggers to use Feedburner to send Tweets out automatically via Feedburner.
Of course most bloggers already have tweets going out to promote new blog posts by using either a plugin or a service like TwitterFeed.
Feedburner give you a number of options – including the ability to tweet out just the title or include some... Read Full Story
Anyone visiting my blog, The Engine Room , in the past couple of days will have noticed it loading incredibly slowly. Everything's back to normal now, but I thought I'd just explain what the problem was and how I fixed it. (I realise this won't be of interest to most of The Engine Room's regular readers; I'm just hoping I can help one or two other bloggers out there.) I use FeedBurner to manage the blog's feed. As a result of Google buying FeedBurner way back in 2007, all FeedBurner users... Read Full Story
Former Google exec and the cofounder/CEO of RSS service Feedburner Dick Costolo is Twitter’s new chief operating officer, we’ve heard from multiple sources. Costolo, who sold Feedburner to Google for $100 million in 2007, left Google in July . We’d heard he was looking to start a new company, but obviously Twitter swooped in and grabbed him.
Steve Gillmor is going to love this, of course, since he proclaimed that RSS was dead and Twitter was the new messaging protocol bus, or something to... Read Full Story

Twitter is really trying to become the company that everyone has it pegged to be, or at least it seems that way by their hiring tactics as of late. While the media daily predicts the emergence / unfettered growth / imminent doom of the micro-blogging service daily (are you sick of it yet?) Twitter goes about its merry way showing signs of brilliance (rapid growth) and signs of “WTF?!” (outages).
The latest attempt to move to the next level, according to TechCrunch , is the hiring of... Read Full Story
It looks like Twitter's filled another hole in its lineup of key executives. The title of Chief Operating Officer should go to Dick Costolo, who was the cofounder and CEO of FeedBurner and also did a stint at Google post-acquisition.
Costolo left Google about two months ago. His LinkedIn profile claims that, since then, he's been working for Monkey Beach Crime, Inc. (Chalk this odd tale up to Costolo's former career as a comedian).
