Feedburner Pro Is Now Free

Wow, Google is already flexing their muscles. Their recently acquired service Feedburner, shortly after being acquired by Google, has now made their pro features free, according to their official blog.  Here is what Feedburner had to say about all this:

One of the many benefits that FeedBurner publishers will enjoy now that FeedBurner is part of the Google family is a little something we like to call, “more for free!” Beginning today, two of FeedBurner’s previously for-pay services, TotalStats and MyBrand, will be free. Not in the sense of soaring high above the clouds or recently sprung from the hoosegow, but free like you’ll no longer gladly be billed on Tuesday for a burned feed today. We suspect this will be welcome news to the 450,000+ of you using many of our other free services, but understanding that your feed is your feed, you will need to activate these newly freed-up services in order to partake in their awesomeness.

What does this mean?

Well, now everyone has free access to the pro features, including TotalStats and the popular service MyBrand. MyBrand is a nice service that allows publishers to use their domain for their Feedburner feed address.

I think it’s great that Google is now able to give everyone access to Feedburner’s pro features for free.   I wasn’t paying for them before, but I think I may begin using them going forward.  I can always get used to free……
