Q&A: I registered my RSS feed through feedburner with a non gmail account. When I got a real google account, the two somehow merged — about the time that feedburner was acquired by Google. My feed became a zombie. I can’t claim it or get access, for example, edit the name of it (which should have changed). Do you have any idea how to reclaim a zombie feed? I’ve asked for help on the feedburner board at google and there doesn’t seem to be a real person there.

It might be lost in some account mess that needs an actual administrator to fix, which takes A LOT of pestering on the google boards. They do get scanned by Google employees, but getting live feedback is just something that isn’t readily accessible by Google. They aren’t really in the customer service business.

The account may not be lost, try some account recovery tools https://www.google.com/accounts/recovery for the original e-mail address, I would need to take a look to troubleshoot more…

Keep posting on the boards, site security issues or account tampering to try and get attention. I’ve seen it work in the past.
