It’s no secret that Jim and I are huge fans of FeedBurner. It’s also no secret that I am a web metrics wonk. I’ve been paying for FB’s Total Stats Pro since it came out. I love the (nearly) real-time data, dashboard views, and level of detail. It’s all just right for my day-to-day stats needs. When I need to really geek out, I hit Google Analytics. Yesterday the folks at FB announced that these two key subscription services are now free–Burning Questions ? FreeBurner for Everyone!
How awesome is that?!? No, I’m not pissed that I’ve been paying for a year plus and now it’s free for everyone. My subscription helped FB show that it had a viable business model, which attracted Google to buy it, which led to the services becoming free.
Now I need to go and switch a bunch of stuff on so I can capture the level of detail on all the sites we manage.
If you are a client of OBO’s and we’re not managing your blog and feed…you might be missing out on some great data.
