I’ve been reading comment and feedback all over the web this afternoon following the announcement that Google are buying FeedBurner. There’s a real mixed bag of opinion as to whether it’s a good or a bad thing so I thought I’d post a poll to get your feedback.

Do you think it’s a good idea? Can you see it benefiting you as a web publisher? I’ll keep the poll up for the next week and see what sort of responses we get. In the meanwhile, have a read about the buyout at the following sites.
