Thank you to Peter Forret for noticing that "a bunch of 'ADV: Goto XXX site for YYY' advert posts coming in" on the 2RSS.com AtomToRSS conversion feeds. Since Peter and I both are using Blogger which only supports Atom, we both had a need for a service to convert that feed into RSS ... and 2RSS.com provided that service. Note the keyword there - provided.
Lo and behold there are ads being inserted into those feeds and not one peep from 2RSS to inform their users of the insertion of ads. I was ready to drop the service without bothering to look for another, but fortunately Peter found another service that can automatically convert Atom feeds into an RSS for other people to use.
The service is FeedBurner and I am using it now. I must say that the service provided by FeedBurner is impressive and provides for some other goodies as well, such as conversion to RSS 2.0 (and 1.0), adding pictures to your feed, providing a browser friendly version of the feed (like the Atom does), posting stats, mobile feed optimization, and some other things.
Visit FeedBurner for more information at http://www.feedburner.com/
