Obviously FeedBurner doesn't need the technology. It'd be nothing more than a way to increase their presence. Because Performancing is going down the tube and they can acquire their users.

They have FAN and a comprehensive stats product, both better than Performancing's efforts. Performancing also doesn't have that much traction. The only thing they would get would be the extension, which won't ever generate revenue anyway, will it? On the other hand, if Google bought feedburner they would know exactly how many people subscribe to everyone's feed, as well as knowing how many people visit all the websites from Analytics! Maybe then they would play ball and report to FeedBurner users how many google subscribers there are to a feed, rather than hide their market share. Why would FeedBurner want Performancing?

I think they see that they are doing extremely well on their own - in my opinion the only advantage to being rolled up in a major tech company is that ad sales will be better. In the case of a Google purchase, merging with Blogger's services would riddle FeedBurner with spam and likely lead to a time when FeedBurner only manages Blogger feeds (goodness no!). I'm surprised they haven't made an offer for Performancing (then again they might have for all we know).
