FeedBurner Feeds Not Updating Promptly

In the midst of the reports about the Atom / RSS feeds in the FTP published blogs having no content, we see a second problem with feeds. Blogs published to BlogSpot / Google, with feeds redirected to FeedBurner, are seeing serious delays in the FeedBurner feed updates. The problem with the FTP published feeds started last Friday and was resolved yesterday; the problem with the FeedBurner feeds started late last week, and is being reported today.

We can compare the native blog feed ("myblog.blogspot.com/atom.xml", which redirects to a FeedBurner feed URL) with the native blog feed, non redirected ("myblog.blogspot.com/atom.xml?redirect=false"), and note the differences in published posts.

Here's an example, taken from 3/28. Here we see the most recent post visible in the feed.

Keplero ha pubblicato un link, segnalatomi poi anche da Marcello Seri, relativo a uno studio compiuto da alcuni studenti del Liceo Scientifico “A. Vallisneri” di Lucca: analizzando le registrazioni in mp3 delle comunicazioni tra Neil Armstrong (sulla luna) e il controllo di Houston (sulla terra) hanno notato che le parole trasmesse da Houston, riecheggiando all'interno del casco dell'astronauta, rientravano nel suo microfono e venivano ritrasmesse a terra, creando un'eco.

In this example, the post "Il quadrato costruito sull'ipotenusa è uguale alla radice del dente di mia nonna", published on Sunday, March 29, 2009, did not get updated in the FeedBurner feed, as of 3/29.

(Update 3/31): Blogger now states that this has been fixed.

Update: As of 3:05pm PST 3/31/09, this is fixed.
