Thursday, May 24. 2007More signs that the boom is back It is reported over at TechCrunch that Google is to purchase Feedburner for a cool $100m. I don't begrudge the owners of Feedburner but I find it a little hard to understand the valuation here. Sure Feedburner is a good service (here at Nice Ventures we use it and also its semi-rival Feedblitz), but $100 million for about 10 people, some cool web 2.0 code and a handful of servers seems rather high.
Wednesday, May 31. 2006Feedblitz gets funding Feedblitz (used to send a daily email of this blog to subscribers) has received angel investment from Tom Evslin formerly of Microsoft which should help Feedblitz compete with Feedburner (also used on this blog) as Feedburner attempts to move into the same space. At Microsoft Tom Evslin used to head up the Exchange and Outline email products so it seems likely that he expects to add more than just money to Feedblitz.It is interesting I think that Feedblitz seems to have addressed most of the criticisms (apart from the Orangeness of the logo) leveled at it by Michael Arrington last year.
