@ Shane

Well your right, it seems that as soon as a Company gets taken over from the big “G” service drops. But hey, I am not to worried about. There is a lot of places to burn a feed but they should keep in mind that all I have done, is targeted a keyword properly as I do not provide anywhere close to the service they have. Hell, when I talk about Feed Flare, a service they have…..I tell people how great it is and to make sure they use it.

Last point
There is over 100 million blogs that are active….they burn feeds for 1.4 million…..they do not hold a very large market anyways so someone working with them should be a blessing.

First off, from a personal perspective, Feedburner offers crappy support and doesnt look at their blog, I have heard that in a few forum. People go there to get their feed questions answered and they dont reply. So this tells me they dont use the blog or their forum for support (they dont care?)
I think you’ve got big brass balls though. I was almost going to say using their name. is it really their name? Did they trademarks it?
Its like the apple and intel war a while back intel tried to use apple for the use of the letter I as in Ipod. Intel said they owned that letter? how can you own a letter.
I suppose the worst that could happen to you is that they disable your feedburner account?
Be interesting to see what if anything comes out of it

There is a TM next to feedflare in the optimize section. Perhaps this is new? Ironically, it's the only TM I see. Dennis Edell's last blog post..Now, Two Ways Too Subscribe!

Hey Dennis, it is not a trademarked name. Feed Burner is though. Besides, if they were so worried about, all the dot ca’s, org,s etc would of been signed up for or registered. At least you would assume so anyways.

I'm sure they know, and considering Google I'd be a little careful. It seems the name is Trademarked. Dennis Edell's last blog post..Now, Two Ways Too Subscribe!
