Feedburner drops stumbleupon…

This issue really got on my nerves this week-

Feedburner’s FeedFlare is a service that goes at the end of each blog post and it makes it very easier to readers to do some simple things with the link, like email it, digg it, and so on. One of the more popular features here was an easy way for readers to stumble (as in stumbleupon) a post. Over the past week stumbleupon was still an option, but it was not appearing in blog posts… I had no idea what had happened.

Now the stumble option is gone from FeedFlare altogether. I don’t know if this is temporary, or if it’s part of a larger Google/Ebay fight, but it’s pretty interesting. I guess the impact is limited because most dedicated stumbleupon users have the toolbar installed, but if you don’t it is an inconvenience.

BTW- you can use this custom one if you really want to…
