If I am not mistaken, pinging the feedburner server only works for the wordpress.org platform (i.e. not for simple blogs under wordpress.com which does not seem to have an update services option). Is there a workaround on that? Nice trick!

As the article points out, most of a large part of the internet's data flow they control already via all the mentioned services. There has been always too much movement to Google, but lately with the Go language, the real time search, the Google business centre (which adds GeoADS framework for free), etc is going Crazy imho. As for Bing's grow it's a good thing so far for us. I'd rather 5 big search engines than one (if I could). I don’t think it’s that bad for us, Google users, to use an open DNS service from Google.

I mean using the getitemdata method, alongwith the item title, item url and the circulation, hits, dates it should also give the time when the post was posted. Or is there a different way out where I can get the retrieve the time of item posting for feedburner feeds? I tried out your fb_awareness_api_demo.phps and it worked to fetch the latest feeds. But what if I want to fetch the previous feed items data and also the time of posts published.
