What the heck is Feedburner ? (Were you living under the rock ?)

Feedburner is a metrics service which lets you find out that how many people have subscribed the RSS feeds of your blog and in may 2007 it got acquired by Google Inc. The service is excellent and is being used by millions of bloggers around the world as this is one of the neat ways of finding out that how your blog is performing.

Google and low quality ? (Why aren’t they allowed to make mistakes ?)

I know it’s little sad to know this however, I’ve been noticing from last couple of months that every now and then the feed count stats are never correct. They turn to zero, sometimes way less than the actual subscribers and similar stuff. May be this is happening because of the integration with Google Account, however what ever the case may be, I’ve experienced that the service’s level has gone way down after the acquisition by Google.

I’m not sure if it’s happening with everyone or not - it’s something which I’m experiencing these days and wanted to know if you are also facing a similar issue ?
