News just in - FeedBurner is buying a Web Analytics firm called Blogbeat according to TechCrunch.

"In a phone conversation last night, Steve Olechowski, Feedburner’s COO, said that they have been looking to build or buy a web analytics product to complement their existing RSS analytics tools. Steve expects full integration of the Blogbeat service with Feedburner by Q4 of this year. At that point Feedburner customers will have the ability to see web and RSS statistics for their blogs in a single dashboard."

Seems like everyone wants to own a Web Analytics firm - they’re very good targets for aquisition these days.  Everyone is just wondering how long it will be till FeedBurner is eaten up by Google or Yahoo - in which case, buying BlogBeat might have been a whaste of money.   On the other hand, maybe FeedBurner wants to be bought by Google or Yahoo.
