googleblog.blogspot.com — Both companies just posted that the rumored acquisition has in fact happened. No mention of the rumored price of $100 million.

i love when google buys companies because it generally means that all of their products become free (with ads).

Have you even seen the ridiculous post on the FeedBurner blog?"The vision is straightforward: publishers who successfully promote distribution and measure consumption will be in a position to derive more value (aka make more money, gain more influence, etc.) from media distribution. Feeds present a simple and ubiquitous opportunity for publishers to embrace distributed media, but content distribution standards without metrics, publicity tools, and monetization engines are ultimately of little value to individuals and organizations whose businesses depend on an ability to maximize and measure reach."IT'S 100 MILLION BUCKS!! IS IT NECESSARY TO EXPLATIN ANYTHING ELSE? JEEZ...

Monopoly capitalism on the Internet: It came. It saw, It conquered?

You can put a style sheet to your RSS feeds and link to the various services and newsfeed readers. I know currently Feedburner links to most newsreaders, with Yahoo! being the first one listed. I hope after this acquisition Google's newsreader won't be the most prominently displayed reader.

I didn't like Google from day 1, and insisted on using AltaVista until Google took over all the other search engines. Then I watched as Google expanded, and expanded, and expanded, until it has become a behemoth of an Internet corporation worth billions, ignoring what made it famous in the first place, and embodying an advertisers' and shareholders' dream.But hey, I use Microsoft's products daily, so why not Google?
