Many of you might already know that Google acquired Feedburner in 2007 but couple of months ago, Google announced that they would start migrating the feeds hosted on Feedburner to Google’s servers.
Initially, the publishers interested in using the new services like AdSense for feeds migrated but lately, there’s been news spreading about Google forcing Feedburner members to migrate their Feedburner account to their Google Account until February 28th.
If someone fails to make the transition by February 28th, Google mentioned that Feedburner feeds will start reporting a 404!
The following new features will be available after transition
1. If you know which Google Account you’d like to migrate your feed(s) to, go ahead and log into that account first. It’ll make your options for the migration more convenient for you.
1) Log in to your Feedburner account.
2) On your homepage, click on “Move your account now.” present between the yellow bar at the top as shown in the image below.
3) Choose your Google Account where you would like to move your feed to and click ‘Next"’.
4) In the next screen, you will see all of the feeds assigned to the Feedburner account that you’ve signed into.
5) Now, you can now move those feeds. Depending on the size of your RSS feeds, it might take a while though. The good thing is that you can close your browser window and keep working normally while Google’s servers do the work.
If you haven't transferred your feeds till now, then you still have time. In case, if you have already transferred, do let know whether they are working normally.
