Looks like we’re in business. All feeds have been redirected accordingly, so you RSS fans shouldn’t need to do anything. For the record, the proper feed URL is http://feeds.feedburner.com/openstacks.
It’s amazing how properly redirecting my feeds has increased what Feedburner believes to be my subscriber count from 600+ to 1,000+. That’s largely due to the number of folks who are still subscribed to my RSS 1.0 index.rdf feed, which was never dealt with in the move to Feedburner (unlike its RSS 2.0 counterpart, index.xml) .
It also stands to reason that a certain percentage of readers are subscribed twice, for example in Bloglines and then again in Google Reader. There are probably 150+ feeds that get double subscriber counts from my Bloglines and Google Reader accounts. Perhaps a third, if my Rojo account is still active.
That said, I can’t ignore the fact that a lot of you are still here. It’s an incredible thing and I thank you for it.
