Google AdSense for feeds
Logged into my Google AdSense account, and got a surprise when I hit the setup tab. Instead of the usual options, I saw an addition, AdSense for Feeds, as you can see below. 
I clicked on it and was taken to a page where I could customize the ad unit. However, the eagerness and anticipation gave way to consternation when I scrolled further down to find a message saying:

The account migration guide very ‘helpfully’ told me that there was no way to migrate Feedburner feeds directly, and that it was a manual process, possible thru a Google Account. It said I should send a mail to adsense-support-aff@google.com and provide a) my FeedBurner account username and b) my Google Account email address used to sign in to AdSense.
This sucks big time, and I’m wondering why this is a manual process, especially since it’s been quite a while since Google acquired FeedBurner, so there should be no glitches involved in automating the migration process. I’m not all that keen to do so yet, and don’t want to burn a new feed for all blogs, so wait n watch for now, I guess.
