What is Feed Burner?
Feed burner is an ‘add-on service’ that can be integrated with your website or blog to track the website/blog subscribers. By subscribing your website, the people who subscribed can get the website updates to their mail or other notifications which allow the subscribers to read it using programs like ‘Google reader’ without manually checking your website for updated contents.
