Burnalytics is a new library just released by Alex MacCaw (the developer also behind the popular Juggernaut plugin for Rails) that makes it easy to retrieve statistics from both FeedBurner and Google Analytics.

I don't think the Ruby Jobs site at RubyNow gets enough link love from the community, and I want to put that right. If you haven't been there for a while, you'll be surprised.
