Yesterday's News

We're typically more of a "looking ahead" type outfit, but this week, we'd like to pause and take a glance back to share some recent goings on in FeedBurner's world.

Japan
Last week, our partners in Japan, GMO Ad Networks, announced integration with the Japanese version of Six Apart's TypePad service. This integration is similar to our peanut butter and chocolate announcement in June which makes it easy for bloggers to take advantage of all of the tasty analytics and publicity services we offer. GMO's blog service, JUGEM, is the first to integrate with Yaplog! and AutoPage to follow soon. For those of you who speak Japanese, you can read the coverage in CNET Japan or spend some quality time with this infographic.

Spain
If you happened to be in Barcelona yesterday, we hope you savored the paella. Jetsetter Steve was with Mark Fletcher of Bloglines fame, sipping beers and talking about feeds at the inaugural Feeds & Beers en Barcelona gathering. Check out the video to see what these two entrepreneurs had to drink, er... share.

The Windy City
If you caught Monday's edition of the Chicago Sun-Times, you would have seen the smirks and smiles of FeedBurner's four founders, Dick, Steve, Eric and Matt. FeedBurner was one of 10 companies honored with a Chicago Innovation Award. The online version of the article describes each winner in more detail.

Now, being only 3 years old, we don't often find ourselves rubbing elbows with some of Chicago's most established brands. So to be recognized among the Sara Lees and Motorolas of the city is a real honor. The wide range of companies on this year's list has even sparked a few local partnership ideas like working with Sara Lee to create whole grain feeds for publishers or figuring out how to use Loggerhead's Bionic GripT wrench to fix the coffee maker.

Ok, maybe not. We'll stick with innovating for now.
