I reported this to FeedBurner directly this evening, but was wondering if anyone else had noticed a similar phenomenon.
My FeedBurner listing shows me as a huge hit with the Google Desktop crowd. So I installed GD and had my ego ground down a bit as apparently it just pulls in every feed it autodetects while you browse. It doesn’t keep a “subscription” to the feed in the sense of every other RSS Reader out there. It just pulls them in for a bit in case you might want to read them.
I’m all for weird little RSS widgets and hacks, but the Google Desktop implementation seems pretty useless. FeedBurner already filters out “noisy” hits to your RSS Feed, thing like: direct browser clicks, page scrapers and search engine spiders. Lets hope they start filtering out Google’s Desktop drive by subscriptions as well.
