well, I guess 2 out of 3 great investments in the RSS space, ain’t bad do you think will win the search side of things?…heck, does it still matter or is Google just running away w/it? in seeing what’s happening to the craddle of companies in the RSS search space, I’m not sure what will come of the space in general. Sphere’s momentum is nice but I’m not sure that it has commensurate revenue.

A great exit. Well done to everyone involved. Great products will find great buyers. It must give a great deal of confidence to your other investments, particularly Medium (sic and Lijit.

Congratulations, Brad. I’m not surprised to hear you were one of the original 1000 publishers.

Glad to see you’re still living on the leading edge.

I’m glad to hear Google is the happy new owner of FeedBurner. As a publisher, it is good to hear the FeedBurner brand has been purchased by “good steward.”

This is huge. Congrats.

Any bets on what’s next up from Brad’s portfolio-
1) MSN buys Technorati
2) mpire buys Judy’s Book
3) other?

congrats to you Brad. Your vision in getting behind these RSS ecosystems was a visionary move. And to think we made fun of you about it

Congrats all around!

I am really amazed at how fast the ecosystem grew up around RSS. Now, I can’t survive the six hour drive to the beach without my podcasts.
