Dick of Feedburner confirmed today that the rumors about Google’s acquisition of Feedburner is true.

We like our chances. We are confident that we are going to be a part of the company that can best deliver the most comprehensive suite of services to publishers. We are confident that we’re going to continue to have fun and innovate for customers as rapidly as possible. We are confident and hopeful that you’ll look at your feed dashboard soon and say to yourself “Well, *that* was a good idea!”

Google confirmed it too.

We’re excited to continue offering the exceptional tools of FeedBurner to content creators throughout the world, and our teams will work together to improve the experiences of feed users, advertisers, and publishers. You can sign up for FeedBurner’s services and take advantage of their feed tools and features immediately.

But I was confused by the post of PaidContent which says:

About that opt-out mechanism … I just logged in to our FeedBurner account and a note came up explaining service would not be interrupted because of the acquisition but we have 14 days ending June 15 to opt out of allowing Google to service the account. The alternative: “If you take no action by June 15, 2007, the rights to your data will transfer from FeedBurner to Google. Opting out will terminate your user agreement with FeedBurner, permanently delete your FeedBurner account, feeds, and all related statistical data and history, and prevent the transfer of your data rights to Google.”

What do the term ACTION mean in order to avoid permanent deletion of our account?

To let you know, 2003 when I started using the Feedburner services. That was the time when I was still popular as the “Ka Webspy”. Now, I think, I am totally owned by Google because almost all web services I used are owned by Google.

Talking about being OWNED, David Dalka has an interesting post about Google’s acquisition of Burner. More discussions at Write/Read and Google Operating System.
