Solution for Feedburner`s "Periscope simulated timeout expired"

If you use feedburner and recently started getting the "Periscope simulated timeout expired" error while trying to resync your feed with feedburner, I might have a solution for you - Yahoo Pipes.

You can republish your feed with Pipes and Feedburner seems to process those feeds without any problems. Just clone this pipe and enter your feed address instead of http://www.example.org/feed. After that you'll need to change the settings to tell feedburner to fetch your feed from Yahoo Pipes and not from your original feed. Use the "Get as RSS" link on your pipe page for that. That's it. You feed will start working again and your readers won't notice any changes.
