But think about the Facebook generation. My kids are growing up with the news feed as their start page. Not Yahoo’s portal approach and NOT Google’s search box approach. In time, its entirely possible that feeds will be more powerful than search.

The only purpose at this point in keeping FeedBurner around is portability and compatibility of data. Having a system that can read all the various flavors and manglings of RSS and Atom out there in the world and then serve it back up in an appropriate manner almost flawlessly is still a rare thing. I can’t think of another competitor to FeedBurner, in fact, that does this.

Most folks understand the implications of providing their blog posts with full text (you’re very likely going to get your content shared around and read outside the confines of your website). It’s going to get re-purposed and re-used in a number of ways you never intended or even imagined. Some of it will be for good, and some of it will be for evil. The solution is simple. Roll with the punches.

What if blogs and journals offered a full feed for $1 per month with no ads, mobile access, etc. Would you subscribe for a buck? What I am proposing is the following forms of monetization: standard Web site with ads, partial feed with no ads, and a full feed with no ads for $1/month.

Besides a new favicon and a confirmation dialog displayed when you mark all the posts as read, Google Reader now shows the published date of a post in a tooltip.
