Chris Pirillo caught a bug (first!) of ours this morning, wasn’t sure who to blame, and I made sure in the comments it was clear that it was our issue. I don’t like making mistakes any more than the next guy. But I want every publisher to know that we’ll never hide from a mistake, and where we can, we’ll engage and address the issue as quickly as possible to do right by them.

There's some details <a href="http://forums.feedburner.com/viewtopic.php?t=5494" rel="nofollow">here</a> on what happened; the short answer is that a software deploy last night at 3am introduced a bug that we found at 7am and fixed around 8. The bug resulted in the clickthrough URLs being modified, which would have caused aggregators that polled the feed in the affected window to see the items as new. The good news (!) is that this isn't a result of the enclosure hack or the flickr integration, so both can continue as is. (As for aggregators ignoring the HTML, nothing I can do there.) Needless to say we're really sorry about this, both for our publishers who use the service as well as for the subscribers who were affected. We're looking at our deployment processes to ensure that we catch this stuff beforehand. Thanks for using FeedBurner, and thanks for raising the issue! --Rick VP, Business Development FeedBurner The blame’s ours.
