I saw a “My Networks” link on top of FeedBurner that I had never seen before. Silly me, I just had to click it! This was the message sent my way via the tubes.

We can’t say, but since you landed here, we applaud your curiosity! You are one of a select group of FeedBurner publishers who can now create and discover other FeedBurner Networks. Networks is our new service (still in beta) that helps subscribers, other publishers and even advertisers more easily discover your great content.

This looks like a really interesting idea. I like the idea of bringing feeds and media together in little hubs for people to subscribe to. You can go join a network that is already in place, or you can go and create your own.

So what is to be gained by joining one of these networks?

Every participating publisher has an equal opportunity to appear on a network “landing page” that is comprised of the most recent headlines from the collective group (view an sample landing page). We encourage publishers to brand their network with a descriptive and compelling name and even include a logo.

FeedBurner provides a number of promotional tools to help participants get the word out including a network badge, chicklet and FeedBurner’s popular BuzzBoost service. In addition, publishers who are invited to join a network will also have the opportunity to submit their feed to FeedBurner’s growing advertising network, FAN.
