We’ve been running NorthPack for a couple of days now and I’m really happy with the progress, I have to say I’m quite suprised at the amount of people running feedburner (not that theres anything wrong with that) but its so…. visable
in a default feedburner set you your feed is at feeds.feedburner.com/yourFeedName, thats all well and good but what if you want to leave feedburner at a later date, maybe you’ve developed your own feedtracking service or you’ve decided to go without… you carn’t change that feed and you’ve lost all those subscribers…
When Google bought feedburner they made all the “pro” features completely free the best one of these has to be myBrand with a simple DNS entry you can have feeds.yourdomain.com/yourFeedName and have complete control over the links and the subscribers and if you feel at a later date you want to leave… you just create that subdomain and 301 people to the new url (which I also hope is on your domain name)

Thanks for the tip Dom - didn’t realise those pro features were free now. Will look into it again.
