Hijacking RSS Feeds

“A list” Blogger Guy Kawasaki demonstrates how to get your RSS feed hijacked. Well, actually someone else does the demonstrating, Guy just let his feedburner subscription expire.

Message to Guy… See? This is what I’m talking about. By allowing your Feedburner feed to get deleted, you’ve opened your subscribers up to having somebody else (like me) to come along, create a feed by the same name in Feedburner, and capture the eyeballs of your subscribers.

Where the hell are the ads? I sure as hell would have clicked.

I’m finally back in Brazil and should be back to normal posting after I catch up with a few things. I haven’t read much in the last 2 weeks – did I miss anything essential?
