For those who don’t know, FeedBurner is a an rss feed service that allows you to manage your rss feed and see detailed stats on your subscribers. One of the best features of using FeedBurner is the rss address that it gives you. You post this address as your own rss feed and on the back end you plug your blog’s rss feed into feedburner. This allows everyone to subscribe to one feed and any time you change your rss feed or blog address all you have to do is change the rss feed address in feedburner and all of your subscribers start getting the new feed. Thus eliminating the loss of subscribers.

Now back to the topic at hand. As I was saying, i started to check to see if any of the inactive blogs actually were inactive or not. Found a few that had been updated and I updated my subscriptions, others had been deleted or still lay dormant. I ended up unsubscribing to about 20 sites that either have been removed, I no longer had an interest in, or had been inactive for over a year. I’m a stats whore and so when Google Reader says I have so many subscriptions I want them to be legit subscriptions. Now of course, there are still a few blogs from some good friends that haven’t updated since 2008 but I won’t unsubscribe on the off chance that they update at some point.

So the question is, why aren’t you updating us on your life?
