On: If a file exists, there is torrent of it. If not, it will be burned

I still don't know what that is.

It seems like every time I stop paying attention for a week somebody has invented a new verb.

I've heard of Feedburner (and had an account for a few years), and I didn't make the association. It's not just you.

[hugh3 → steveklabnik]

... and yet you still won't tell me what it means?

Sorry.

Basically, FeedBurner was a startup that was acquired by Google that lets you input an RSS feed, and they produce another feed. You keep the original one secret, hand out theirs, and you get analytics and other features.

Compare

to

to get an idea. They called this 'burning' a feed. I guess this is what they're alluding to; give me your media file, and I'll turn that into a torrent.
