FeedBurner Buys BlogBeat
According to Reuters (link courtesy of CNET) FeedBurner, which syndicates 346,000 feeds for 212,000 bloggers, has purchased blog analytics company BlogBeat. BlogBeat provides bloggers with real-time information about their blog such as which content is being read by whom, and what is most popular. FeedBurner will be offering the new functionality for free under the FeedBurner StandardStats service. Fee-based services aren’t planned until 2007. For corporate and commercial bloggers, this makes FeedBurner the top choice for blog and feed analytics, particularly now that it is free.
