Are you using FeedBurner to push your RSS feed to your readers? If you’re not then this is why you should!

I’ve used FeedBurner since I started this blog, but I haven’t quite been able to justify the cost of using their pro features - so I was delighted to find out that Google (the new owners) will be making an announcement later today that they will be offering them for free!

TotalStats and MyBrand, both previously for-pay services, are going to be offered without charge. Stats Pro will allow you to see the number of people that have clicked on the individual content items in your feed, and also see the reach of your feed (an estimation of the number of subscribers that interact with your feed content on a daily basis).

MyBrand lets you use your own domain name for the feed, instead of the FeedBurner one. Totally pointless for most bloggers, but useful for companies that are thinking about running a corporate blog.

Edit: read all about it on the FeedBurner Blog.

It should be pretty obvious by the header that I’m a DJ and seriously into my music - so when I see a post titled video, time, sound and tangible interface pop up on one of my daily reads, I can’t help but be intrigued! As it happens, this is an awesome short film called SPIN by Double Edge Films.

The clip - in which a mysterious DJ is sent to a busy city block to mend a series of tragic events that occur in our everyday lives - is the winner of 35 film festival awards worldwide, and it’s not hard to see why. Clever, well-shot, touching, the list goes on… Enjoy!

This one’s worth watching twice - and let me know what you thought!
