So seriously news for bloggers.
Today I received a notice of the updated announcement from FeedBurner that the Follow By Email widget on Blogger will stop working in July, (FeedBurner) is exciting going away.
FollowByEmail widget (Feedburner) is going away
You are receiving this information because your blog uses the FollowByEmail widget (Feedburner).
Recently, the Feedburner team released a system update announcement , that the email subscription service will be discontinued in July 2021.
After July 2021, your feed will still continue to work, but the automated emails to your subscribers will no longer be supported. If you’d like to continue sending emails, you can download your subscriber contacts. Learn how
Starting July, the service will be stopped as the Feedburner shifts to a more stable, modern infrastructure. There is no reason for Fedburner's Users to be frustrated by this. This product will work as before, so all users can continue, the only subscription widget that will also stop working.
That update will return most non-core feed management features, including email subscriptions. Unfortunately, those who use FeedBurner to manage email subscriptions are asked to download email subscribers from the Google FeedBurner team.
A few thoughts update:
- It will come with a paid and free version that will allow you to switch to any platform like WordPress and it will probably invite better service than any other.
- Many days this Google's service has not updated their blogs and all the items compared to the likes of competitors.
- Apart from this the money from the service of a new platform can actually be a good thing.
- We know Feedburner FollowByEmail This item works pop up so many bloggers kick this. I think this service needs to be better.
- Limitation issues. Feedburner is free. Bloggers are usually used on email services and email marketing platforms from RSS. Newsletter services, on the other hand, are not popular. This time it’s a big reason why everyone will USE every other CMS platform on an equal footing.
So what is changing? - What will not change:
- Non-core feed management features
- Publicize your feed stories
- Change the URL of the feed
- Change source feed
- Change the title
- Change podcast metadata
- Email subscriptions
- User Browser Friendly
- Password Protector
- Basic (not specific) analysis
- Reach format aspect tags for MP3 files
- Login features
If you use these features they will change, nothing will change as per Google Notice.
Most of the common ask is that this subscription service will not come back, Google Feedburner official says it is off for now, but can't say now whether it will launch this service in the future. So, those who use FeedBurner to manage email subscriptions can download the email list of their subscribers and use its alternative services, but for that, you need to download your list of email subscribers.
And if you return this service in the future, you can migrate to a new email subscription service and use other services, without any loss. Google gives lot of Time so you can migrate to a new email subscription service. This data can be downloaded after July. So don't panic.
