New toy! I just signed up with FeedBurner and while I have to admit that I do not yet fully understand all it does I wanted to comment on simple but fun bit of marketing from the FeedBurner folks.After signing up at FeedBurner I began furiously clicking thorough all the set up options and stumbled on the "analyze" section. Since I had set up my account literally seconds ago I obviously had no stats. Instead of a generic "No Stats Available" or a display with no useful data I was greeted with a clever message reading "Your feed is so new, we're still playing with the bubble wrap". Maybe it's just me but I find that to be a clever turn of phrase - because who doesn't like playing with bubble wrap. Someone took the initiative to take a mundane user message and make it fun. Nice work FeedBurner.
I owe my buddy Phil "Making It Great" Gerbyshak a "thank you" because he introduced me to FeedBurner a while back via a Blog Traffic Tips post on his site. I finally got around to acting on his advice.
P.S. Visitors to ShowOffCards.com are now treated (or force fed, depending on what you think of my blog) to a rotating and constantly updated list of my five latest blog posts.
