Feedburner is my favorite RSS Subscriber model which I use for delivering regular updates to my subscribers. Its one of the most popular and it has been acquired by Google some-time back.
RSS Feeds permit subscription to regular updates, delivered automatically via a web portal, news reader, or in some cases good old email. Feeds also make it possible for site content to be packaged into “widgets,” “gadgets,” mobile devices, and other bite-sized technologies that make it possible to display blogs, podcasts, and major news/sports/weather/whatever headlines just about anywhere. via Google
So its very important that your subscribers can have a better experience viewing your RSS feeds. Here are 5 Power Tips which can make your RSS reader more happy in long term.
Don’t forget to 
subscribe to our RSS-feed and 
follow us on Twitter for recent updates.
1. Email Timings : The best time according to me would be delivering your daily content two hours after publishing the post on your website. And ofcourse everyone should have a specific time for publishing posts. A genuine reader always awaits your updated content everyday. Go to Publicize –> E-Mail Subscriptions –> Delivery Options for timed settings.
2. Thanking your newly subscribed user : Paying respect, a Thank You or “Why You Should Subscribe” message on your feeds is good option. To activate this feature, Go to Optimize tab of FeedBurner dashboard, click Browser Friendly under Services and enable Personal Message. Enter the message and it will be displayed on your feeds.
3. Enable Social Bookmarking : Go to Optimize –> FeedFlare and you will can give your subscribers easy ways to email, tag, share, and act on the content you publish. FeedFlare places a simple footer at the bottom of each content item, helping you to distribute, inform and create a community around your content.
4. Displays rotating headlines : Go to Publicize -> Headline Animator and you from here you can displays rotating headlines from your feeds. You can adjust the click through URL, colors, size and date formats. You can integrate it on your website, social network profiles or even in your e-mail signatures.
5. More Good Content: Go to Optimize –> Link Splicer. This feature lets you share collected links from Delicious, Furl, Digg, Bloglines Clip Blog, My Web 2.0 and ma.gnolia with your subscribers. So you can provide them some more good free stuff.
If you have any more feature which can make your feed readers more engaging and happy, please do share those with us.

Hey Jaspal, I found this post on Twitter this morning and I love it. I’m going to start subscribing by email to your posts so I don’t miss goodies like this one.
I’d like to find a resource that describes all of the features of FeedBurner, the problem is that Google doesn’t have a dedicated YouTube channel for it. I’ll be looking for more FeedBurner tips from you!
Now here’s mine.
I can’t remember who shared this with me on Google Buzz or I would give them credit. But if you want to feed your Buzz into Twitter (not the other way around like most people do) just burn your Buzz feed to FeedBurner and then go to Publicize > Socialize > add your Twitter account and customize your Tweet. For example I set my Buzz Tweets to start with “New Buzz:”
Thanks for the resources, let me go and subscribe to your feeds now!

All points are worth focusing on, in my perspective more importance should be given to social bookmarking(#3) so that the feed readers can easily share what they like.
