In their own words
“Hi folks!
Due to a mistake my hobby project Readburner got leaked today. Louis Gray somehow found my site, which is hosted on an Amazon EC2 server (heck I didn't even had registered a domain name and don't know if I'm happy with my codename). This site is obviously still in very early development. If traffic comes it will clearly go down. Moreover my parsing technolgy is still not tested, so don't wonder if strange things happens.
I'm not gonna close the site anyway. In the Internet you cannot hide anything that's leaked, so be it. Let's see is as an experiment how fast a site can spread through the Google Reader shared items, which is what ReadBurner aims to aggregate.”
Why it might be a killer
FeedBurner is just what consumers have been asking for. Despite its being a one man project, it works and it works pretty well for being just released. It acts as a sort of Digg Techmeme hybrid and eventually could be used to tabulate and organize the day’s popular news.
Some questions
How will this develop as more feeds are collected? Will it burn out and become another sort of Digg? What about privacy concerns?
