I understand the whole "trusting Google" thing, but RSS ain't email or search behaviour. These RSS services are simply passthrough/syndication services, and no real sensitive data is handled (unless I'm missing something else?).

Google has been killing most of its RSS-related products (most notably Reader). People are concerned FeedBurner might be next.

Yeah, worrying about Feedburner is not new.

This recent NSA stuff may help with motivating people to actually switch, but it's not really needed as a reason.

I think it's more about trusting google to keep the service running.
