GoogBurner … just so you know

In case you hadn’t noticed or simply would want to know . . . with the acquisition of FeedBurner by Google there is now a small print disclaimer that displays when you login to your FeedBurner account. And I quote:

NOTE: Service of FeedBurner publisher accounts will not be interrupted as a result of the acquisition by Google. You will have a 14-day interim period ending June 15, 2007 to opt-out of allowing Google to service your account. If you take no action by June 15, 2007, the rights to your data will transfer from FeedBurner to Google. Opting out will terminate your user agreement with FeedBurner, permanently delete your FeedBurner account, feeds, and all related statistical data and history, and prevent the transfer of your data rights to Google. To opt-out, contact us via [accountx AT feedburner DOT com], provide your FeedBurner account Username, and request to have your FeedBurner account deleted. We will contact you at your registered email address to confirm your deletion request before completing it.

As lawyers say in legal memoranda, “emphasis in the original.”
