Feeds are shareable, just mash them up

Google Mashup Editor Blog: Sharable $user feeds
GME allowed application feeds to be shared. But now due to changes made to the GME, user feeds which were private previously, are now shareable. Now this might bring out more mashable ideas!
Feedotopia is currently playing with GME in certain features and hope to use this new opening to the fullest as our application is completely user based.
If you want to see examples of this feature, have a look at MultiTask (a shared task list) and My Travel Map, ( a travelling mashup?).

Is Yahoo killing BLO.GS?

For some time now I have not been able to ping BLO.GS and the lists of Updates, and recently added are empty.
Further more there is no indication or notification on the home page. May be it is time to wip up that old open source code by Jim Winstead and bring up new blo.gs!

Feedburner is in Google oven now.

This Techcrunch article explains, what was a rumor for sometime now as to be a fact. Rumors about Google acquiring RSS management company Feedburner from last week, started by ex-TechCrunch UK editor Sam Sethi, are accurate and are now confirmed according to a source close to the deal. Feedburner is in the closing stages of being acquired by Google for around $100 million. The deal is all cash and mostly upfront, according to our source, although the founders will be locked in for a couple of years.

The information we have is that the deal is now under a binding term sheet and will close in 2-3 weeks, and there is nothing that can really derail it at this point.

Update;

Google official blog explains the deal and a audio file, the discussion with feedburner CEO.

BlogTopsites and Blogflux services are under one roof now!

The services provided by Blogflux is very familiar to blog authos and publishers. I use Blogflus services in many a weblogs and direct others to do the same.
Blogtopsites ranks weblogs based on number of visitors to weblogs or blogs. Although they are both owned by the same company, Bloggy Network (Thanks goes to Vincent McBurney for clearing it up. Like him I thought the same when I got the Blogtopsites email). Good news is that you can use both the services with a single sign on at Blogflux.

I did not have any problems with this merger , but there seems to be some problems with some sites. (I just noticed that I lost one of my site registration, although everything works fine.)
May be I should send an email and get it corrected.

Vincent has written a better article and instead of rewriting I will direct you to his article!
