"Just a quick note to say how pleased we are with FeedBurner BuzzBoost. After experimenting with a half-dozen RSS to HTML headline 'solutions' (both paid and gratis) that promised the world - and failed on every count, we were thrilled to finally and fully resolve our problems with BuzzBoost at our Fire Department Home Page. FeedBurner works - and BuzzBoost is the icing on the cake!" - Los Angeles Fire Department 6/26/06

Knowing who your readers are and how many readers you have is a huge motivation to grow your blog. FeedBurner is there to take the blogging journey with you. I high 5 the monitor as the subscriptions grow. If you're serious about running a blog, then get FeedBurner. Period." - Dave Rosen Futuretrack5.com 6/23/06

"FeedBurner, I kiss you! Not only have you brought sanity to my RSS feeds, by providing them with visual goodness, but you allow me to keep my RSS bandwidth at a minimum, as all readers must meet you first. You take care of all my feeds, and I would not trust them with just anyone! You let me know when my original feed is down, and provide statistics that would otherwise elude even Google Analytics. You'd bring me breakfast in bed, if you weren't so busy minding my xml streams. If you weren't a brilliant piece of software, and I a lowly bio-mass, I would marry you. I love you that much." - Eric Marden, Polyvi.be Records 6/23/06

"When I took the first tentative steps toward podcast production to supplement my live Indie internet radio show, several listeners encouraged me to check into FeedBurner. Best decision I ever made! Suddenly, I had a quick and easy way to measure trending, obtain an instant picture of how promotional efforts impacted subscriptions, and could tell at a glance where to concentrate my efforts. Without FeedBurner, I would have had to work like a madwoman to regain the listener base from a new location. *Shudder*" - jill no jack, IndieHeart.com 6/22/06

"I just wanted to drop a note to say how thrilled I am with Total Stats! I can see that it's not just about subscribers. With Pro, I can see how many times my feed is viewed, clicks back to my site and the number of enclosure downloads. If FeedBurner were a Chinese buffet, it would be called Super-Yum-Yum." - Alan Houser, CreativeXpert 6/20/06

"A non-profit organization takes a lot of time, effort, and money to keep afloat; and covering those bills with ads isn't easy, especially when our traffic increased. No ad-publishing solution we tried worked well with the non-profit model, and our options ran dry — until we found FeedBurner. FeedBurner helped us publish ads on our site the way we wanted, with a personal representative keeping us up to date and getting our ads up and running." — Mahmoud Al-Qudsi, NeoSmart Technologies 6/19/06
