Google "burns" the feed market

I had a sneaking suspicion by what I was not hearing from people about this, but today it is official, Google has cornered the feed burning market by acquiring FeedBurner. Congratulations to Dick, Matt and the team and to Brad Feld and Fred Wilson, two of the VC's behind FeedBurner. I haven't heard price yet, but will do a little digging, still may not be able to tell you though.

So in one week Google does at least two acquisitions. I think this one is a great one for them. I just hope it doesn't bring any changes to FeedBurner accounts.
