Googleburner is a reality

I was a little worried about the search engines taking over the world, but this post on the Feedburner blog, helped me put the deal into perspective.

Burning Questions • It's True-gle!

There is so much alignment between how we think about publisher services and how Google has executed around publisher services, that we'll try to pick just a few specific areas that we believe are the most compelling reasons for working together:
1. Google's competencies and focus around publisher analytics, distribution, and monetization map perfectly to our suite of services.

2. Publishers want a single dashboard and single source for the metrics that give them feedback about the value of their content and its impact on their business. By combining our market leading feed metrics with Google's market leading site and marketing analytics, publishers now get a comprehensive, 360-degree view of their audience. This 'total perspective' has long been a goal of ours, and we think our combined analytics offering is going to provide publishers with previously undiscovered insights and opportunities.

3. The measurement of awareness advertising is evolving from unique impressions to audience engagement. By providing our hundreds of thousands of publishers with Google's world-class advertising marketplace and metrics, we can provide far more value to publishers and begin to deliver this next step in ROI measurement to advertisers.

4. Speed of innovation. We have always prided ourselves in our ability to deliver extensive functionality to the market rapidly. As we have grown to hundreds of thousands of publishers with global demands, we are delighted to be combining forces with an organization that has a deep understanding of the most efficient ways in which to deploy significant functionality to the widest possible audience. It is one thing to roll out a capability to 3 percent of your customers and it's something else entirely to roll out a broad set of new services simultaneously to customers around the globe.
