Feedburner provides the service I'm currently using to manage subscriptions to my weblog updates. Feedburner provides my weblog readers with a way to easily subscribe to the updates in all the big news feed aggregators, like Bloglines, Newsgator, Rojo, NetNewsWire, and in their favorite personal 'My' Portals, like My Yahoo, My AOL, My MSN, etc. My weblog readers can also subscribe to get updates delivered by email if that's there preference, and Feedburner manages that too (with strong email address privacy protection). For me, Feedburner provides statistics on number of subscribers, what they may be reading and clicking to, and ways to make my feeds more usable to readers and more financially benefitting to me (eventually). I've added the Feedburner Blog, Burning Questions, to My Application Architecture so I can follow the happenings there and provide new features as they come out.
I've also retired Feedblitz which was an RSS Email Subscriptions tool I was using to the Application Archive. I will add Bloglet, another similar tool I've used in the past, when I swap it out for subscription management on this very blog. More on that to come soon.
