A word on Feedburner
The Feedburner service is a problem, right now: Google has shut down the Feedburner API as of October, 20th, as far as I know. Some weeks before that date, it started to return “0” for all feeds.Everything looks like Google is about to abandon Feedburner. Or they’re working on something totally new. Who knows?
That said, there is currently no way of getting the feed stats from Feedburner for SocialBox.
I’m working on an update for the PHP version of SocialBox, which will bring all the new features introduced with the latest update for SocialBox for Wordpress. This version also, until there is another solution, disable the support for Feedburner.
Future plans
- Add even more networks (e.g. Envato, MailChimp, Campaign Monitor, LinkedIn, Google+, ...)
- Add additional styles
