Googleballsuckery. Yep.

A week ago I
noticed that Feedburner was
consumed by Google.

Google purchased them
quite some time ago, yes, but
now they’re moving feeds.

Feedburner clients
must move all feeds to Google
lest they be destroyed.

Everyone’s all,
“O-M-G! I’m so scared! Don’t
want to move my feed!”

I was hesitant
but the threat of losing it
all drove me to act.

Know what Google is?
An Internet Overlord.
Better watch my back.

Speak of them poorly
and they might wipe me off the
Internet for good!

Screw it. I’m talkin.
Yesterday they totally
assed up my blog feed.

They dumped all my links
from Del.icio.us on it,
without my say so!

Readers were confused.
Probably a bit annoyed.
And me? Well I was

just really happy
that I keep all my Asian
porn on Digg instead.

(between you and me?
this Googleballsuckery
is pissing me off.)

  • Yeah, I was wondering what happened there. Crap like that is why I’m blissfully unaware and CB takes care of the techno stuff.

  • That would have freaked me out. I mean most of my bookmarks aren’t pron, but I still don’t need them showing up where my feed is. It made for a fun haiku, though. ;)

  • Sometimes just when I think I have a geeky glimmer, goof ups drive me mad. It took a week to get my feed stuff up and running again and I wouldn’t swear that it is, however, I’m becoming prone to swear. Good luck! We’re gonna need it!

    ok. i’m confused. although this is not an abnormal occurrence for me.

    does this mean i have to fix something?

    well-played anyway, even if i didn’t understand half of it.

  • I was worried, and annoyed, BUT in the end it was really easy and I had to change just one link in the backend of my blog. It worked even without the update, but it was suggested.

    I pretty much with you on the googleballsuckery!

  • I wish I would have had a choice. But no, Google just moved it without even a warning. My feed has been so screwed up since then. I’m blaming them for my lower traffic. Sure, it’s probably sucky writing, but I can still feel better about myself by blaming them for hiding my blog from everyone.
