Interestingly, FeedBlitz currently has a little glitch where they're reporting thousands more subscribers than you actually have. Suddenly my Feedburner stats on some sites are through the roof, but alas, it's not real.
Other than that, though, FeedBlitz is pretty cool.

It was only this week that I first checked out Aweber. I'd no idea it was so widely used, mainly as I don't focus too much on my email subscription methods. Always good to learn something new though.
Off-topic, are you moving home within Poland? I hope it's not proving as stressful as these things usually do.

I think this is great feature. I have actually discontinued my account with Aweber because of luck of such feature. My logic was why to pay for something FeedBurner and others did for me for free. I think it is time to get back on track with Aweber. Thanks Andy.

Andy,
Who 'owns' your list with Feeblitz?
With Aweber, it's your list... double opt in... squeaky clean and GREAT delivery rates.
Meanwhile Feedblitz turned me off IMMEDIATELY with their google ads junking up the feed that lead me there. I didn't go any further... but maybe I should have.

Kathy you own your list with Feedblitz, and the ads are only in the free version, or I believe you can keep the ads and make some money if you are a paid user.
Feedblitz with their more professional versions is actually more expensive than Aweber, more on a par with other email services.
One important difference is that if you import to Feedblitz, subscribers do not have to opt in again, it is more a case of them sending a notification email explaining the move, and offering the chance to opt-out. I honestly like that idea.
One of the problems with Feedblitz is the site doesn't really convey all it seems o be capable of. I sent a whole load of requirements to Phil, and he suggested that some of their corporate stuff can deal with it.
Some of the things they can do which Aweber doesn't are automatic updates to twitter, the ability for a subscriber to control when they receive emails, possibly a way to manage comment subscriptions etc.
For my use I have existing scripts that have been modified for use with Aweber. Aweber is becoming the easy choice.
What is interesting is Aweber recently announced that they have 30,000 paying users. I always thought it was a lot more, though they also have white label clients such as Mike Filsaime's Prosender.
Getresponse list on their site that they have 500,000 customers, but who knows how many are active or free users. Getresponse haven't yet given any public indications that they will improve their RSS to email, and everyone who uses them who might get to test beta features seems to still send out broadcasts notifying of a new blog post.
Zookoda have problems as Darren has pointed out which for me is a real shame.
I really want to move away from using Feedburner, thugh I won't import - I am sure that I can get the most proactive email subscribers to move using incentives, and my email subscriber numbers are currently insignificant.

I just switched completely over to Feedblitz. I have to still move my AWEBER people over, but I'm tired of waiting for the old school to catch up.
I don't need to personalize every damn email that goes out and I'm not in a niche where anyone is even impressed by that feature, which to me, is the only thing I am giving up.
They should have reported their numbers to Feedburner a long time ago. Too little too late.
My subscriber count went up by 3000 this week. Wonder if that's my AWEBER subs. Think I will leave them there :)

Hey Andy, would appreciate any feedback you have on FeedmailPro.com. I think it blows both Aweber and FeedBlitz away in price, ease of use, and features.
Thanks! Brian
