You could take a look at Feedblitz, though I am still using Feedburner for now… I would love to have more options with far more control.

Andy,

this is not directly related, but: do you still recommend using feedburner for people who start a new blog?
I have recently read people complaining about feedburner. I have a fresh block and am not sure if feedburner is the best option to handle my RSS?

Thanks!

Andy, How important is twitter for traffic? i love reading your articles, and ive now read alot of posts reference twitter, and whilst i do see that it is important, is it really imperative for decent traffic?
If i can get by without it to be honest im going too, since im not the most socialble person on the web, but if you feel it will benefit me enormously then ill have no choice and to make the step up!
thanks.
Diana

There are all types of problems

I know for instance that if I switched to partial feeds, I would get more clicks from Google Reader, but I might send less traffic to other sites.

In many ways twitter followers can drive a lot more traffic to a site on popular content than probably still read my feed

You did indeed totally thrash this topic. Thanks for letting me know Andy. So, are feedburner figure less indicative than a year ago (or more)?

Twitter and Facebook usage is per item while feed count has always been about whole feed use. If I break up my feed into 12 items and announce new items to another service as they reach the feed is the person that reads the item on the service reading my feed or just my headline?

How do we redefine reach?

great another way to get obsessed with status updates! No, but seriously this is a good way to expand your subscriber list. I have been using twitter along with some popup email request, but with little to no luck. Hopefully this will push me over to at least 200 new subscribers.

So that why in one day I saw 100 new emails at feedburner….
It's wrong thing to do!
