News from the big boys:

Google has bought Feedburner for $100M, according to Michael Arrington at TechCrunch. This deal has been rumoured for a while, but apparently now it’s a done deal.

I’m a Feedburner user, but frankly I have no real opinion about this news. I don’t think Google can change a lot about the terms of service – I doubt they could block feed-ads from other services, for example – so the move will likely go mostly unnoticed by users except for the superior integration we’ll see with Google’s other services for web publishers. Time will tell…
