Although it was announced last week, I never saw IMAP until today. IMAP for gmail has been made available for all users – English language as of now. For other languages, imap will be made available in coming weeks.

You can check out the Help Center to learn more about IMAP, or watch the video to learn how to quickly set it up on the iPhone.

In my earlier post I had expressed interest in integration of adsense and feedburner. Finally, adsense ads in 300×250 or 468×60 text or image AdSense ad on your blog.

Have you stopped using feedburner services, single GOOGLE acquisition? Well, your feedburner address is still out and about; open to anyone to use.

A big issue. It does not matter if you are a A blogger or a blogger. What matters is your privacy! Once you have stopped redirecting your blog’s feeds to feedburner, you will need to do the following steps:

1. Keep the feedburner account active.
2. Stop redirecting your feeds to feedburner
3. Inform your site visitors and rss readers of the change of feed address.

Never ever let go your feedburner address. It’s just like your domain name!

I had once written about Microsoft bloggers (some) using feedburner. However in last couple of months, I have seen quite a few of them dropping out of feedburner, since Google’s acquisition of feedburner.

Is feedburner now that evil? Honestly, if I were working for Microsoft, I would do exactly what other Microsofties have done. Maybe, I would have never subscribed to feedburner at all. Maybe.

What’s the point of this post?

The point is: if you stop using feedburner, don’t let go of your feed address and don’t delete your account.

Look at what has happened to Angus Logan’s feed. I knew he had changed his feed address. I know his blog address top of my head, so I didn’t change his address in Google Reader.

But today I saw an update on this feedburner address – which was is http://feeds.feedburner.com/anguslogan. This feed is now being used by BSPCN.

Lesson learnt well. Don’t delete your feed address!

What do you think? Isn’t this banking of someone’s credibility? In reality, feedburner should have a system in place to prevent this from happening.

Digg This!

Yep, my feeds are now burning at http://feeds.alpesh.nakars.com/alpesh

I am glad that Google acquired Feedburner, this converts into atleast 2 advantages so far:

1] PRO is now free, and

2] FAN getting more and more advertisements.

I am looking forward to Adsense integration with Feedburner. Go Go Google

Have you spotted Microsoft bloggers move away from Feedburner? I have

My domain is due to expire next month and I just wanted to make sure I was right So I used whois from enom.com to see the exact date.

Where in this page do you see any content related to SharePoint?

I write a lot on sharepoint on my blog, but this ad? How does that all fit in here? How was the related ad displayed? Was it to do with my site or cookies on my laptop?

It’s scary hey?! The ways of the internet are weird and scary sometimes

Check out your whois record and share with us your story.
