FeedBurner Folks All Across the Land
Springtime at FeedBurner Polytechnic means a few things: More unreasonable weather in Chicago (Tuesday, 70F; last night, raining ice daggers), spring break for the kids, and lots o' conferences. In fact, just today we looked up and suddenly noticed no one was here. Because our conference dance card is quite fulleth, we thought we'd provide a few highlights in the hopes that maybe you'd want to see us in our offline, in-person form. If you plan to be where we will be and want to meet up, drop us an email.
