FeedBurner – Manage you blog, website feeds

What is web feed? Well, a web feed is a program used for users to view about updated content of their favorite websites or blogs. As you can see, on this blog sidebar, I used a FeedBurner to manage my blog feed. Just click the orange icon, and you can select any feed readers you want. You also can use your browser to view the latest entry on this blog. At the same page, click View Feed XML and then click subcribe.

Ok, then, why used FeedBurner? And what is FeedBurner?

Hmmm… FeedBurner is the leading provider of media distribution and audience engagement services for blogs and RSS feeds. Their web-based tools help bloggers, podcasters and commercial publishers promote, deliver and profit from their content on the Web.
