If you’re using Feedburner, you’ve maybe noticed they now prompt you to migrate to using a Google account. I did it last night and found the migration has a couple issues.
- Feedburner re-scrapes any external feed data sources after the merge. You might have noticed my feed suddenly re-posted a couple photos from Flickr – this was FB crapping out.
- Some of the feed settings are lost, and need to be re-enabled. Like, my feed suddenly stopped tracking individual item statistics. After re-enabling the setting, I noticed all historic data was lost for the item stats.
- Site stats have disappeared, probably in favor of Google Analytics integration. However, the GA integration isn’t live yet (or at least I can’t find it).
So, the old wisdom of holding account migration until you’re forced to do it would have served me better. Sigh.
