FeedBurner has announced a new feature called FeedFlare.
This is the coolest feature in my mind:
Shortly after we launch FeedFlare for Web sites, we will launch our favorite part of this service: an open API for adding new FeedFlare services. There are foreign language web services we don’t know about, there are web services that appeal to a small niche of publishers, and there are people out there who are far more creative than we. Those sound like three good reasons to make FeedFlare completely open, and we will publish a complete specification and API with examples. Anybody can write to the spec, and publishers will be able to start using these new services immediately. There is no application process or submission form at FeedBurner – services that implement the specification will just work.
Not only that but it should allow more innovation in the space. For example I could add TailRank features directly in FeedBurner. Other smaller companies could add plugins for their content as well.
I love the new open web!
Update:
In other FeedBurner news they’ve signed a deal with Reuters to drive their feeds as well. Sweet!
