Ed note:this was embargoed until 10am CST, but unfortunately others have already jumped the gun. Note that the free pro accounts won't be available until then.

Feedburner will make a couple of announcements today as a direct result of its acquisition by Google. What's this really mean? It means Feedburner can now afford to offer more of its premium features for free.
TotalStats and MyBrand, both previously for-pay services, are now being offered at no charge. And with FeedBurner Stats PRO, you can see the number of people that have clicked on the individual content items in your feed, and also obtain the context of your Reach, which estimates the number of subscribers that interacted with your feed content, on a daily basis. MyBrand is also offered at the PRO level, and lets you in a sense, brand your feed URL (mysite.com/feed rather than feeds.feedburner.com/mysite).
Previous PRO customers will not be charged as of June 2007, and those that sign up for new Feedburner accounts will also reap the benefits of having these existing tools now offered for free, as indicated by the PRO badge next to their feeds.
