This wasn’t my idea 
but coming in the next few weeks, Google will be taking over the feed for The EMR Show from Feedburner.
If this is totally incomprehensible geek-speak to you, no worries. The changeover should be seamless, anyway.
However, in case it doesn’t go as planned, keep this post in mind.
What Was Feedburner?
Feedburner is, or was, a service, free-to-bloggers (and podcasters, see my sister podcast page here), that helped you keep track of how many folks were downloading your posts or shows:
You could link your show to it, and it would tell you the size and general makeup of your audience, as well as how they found you (Google search? Link from a related blog? Etc). Useful to help you refine your content, and better reach the folks you hope you were reaching.
Enter The Big G
Google, being in the business of extracting value from Internet data trends, quickly saw the value of Feedburner, and bought the company, agreeing to take over its services, under the Google umbrella.
Nearly all the services will carry over directly…and any differences really shouldn’t affect you, just me
If you subscribe to The Medical Record Show via an RSS feed reader, like Google Reader, it should still appear as it has. If you read it directly as a bookmarked RSS, it should still come across, just minus the Feedburner logo. Probably Google’s typography and design will surround the content, but it should still come thru.
If not, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I can’t fix what I don’t know about.
Stay tuned!
