Its like FeedBurner is running completely on autopilot, with nobody manning the deck. Thats probably true, unfortunately. Those who haven't taken the crazy Google money and left have probably moved on to other projects within Google. - DGentry

I figured out the problem with the feedflareunit file by trial and error. FeedBurner made it even harder: not only is the scratchpad down, but it caches the contents of the (invalid, bogus) feedflareunit file for about 20 minutes. So my turnaround time between attempts was pretty long, and I had to keep checking the server log to find out if FeedBurner had _actually_ fetched the updated file or was just rejecting its still-cached copy. - DGentry

Still down, though the message I posted to the Feedburner Google Group was acknowledged this morning, and has been forwarded to the FeedBurner developers. - DGentry

just an fyi - i believe the original feedburner team is no longer engaged on supporting it and those that are still at google are focusing in other areas of their business - i don't believe google will be extending it regularly (if at all) you might want to try the beta at http://feedsqueezer.com for a pending alternative to feedburner... - mike "glemak" dunn

Somebody at Google is still working on it, as migrating to the Google infrastructure was presumably no small task. It seems like the new team tasked with working on it is only interested in getting to their feature complete milestone so they can move on. They are not trying to support the product outside of Google, nor extending it, nor fixing bugs anything less than "critical" - DGentry

The feedflare scratchpad is still down. Kaput. - DGentry

Still down. 2 months now. - DGentry
