Over the last year or more I have been sharing items from Google Reader in my Link Blog, it occurred to me that I have no idea if anyone actually subscribes to it and if so should I keep up sharing what I read.
The answer? FeedBurner.
I took my really unfriendly Google Shared Items feed;
http://www.google.com/reader/public/atom/user/16562930266800406239/state/com.google/broadcast
And re-packaged it as a nice easy to use URL;
http://feeds.feedburner.com/mspechtlinkblog
Not only is the URL nice an easy to remember, but I get statistics now on how may people subscribe. So if you have subscribed to my Link Blog could you take the time to re-subscribe to the new feed so I know you are there.
Thanks.
Great idea, Michael. I’m going to do the same with my link blog.
