Based on everything I’ve read, the Google Reader feed stats have to be taken with a couple grains of salt. One thing I think everyone agrees on is that there needs to be some sort of standard of metrics that need to be used to track feed readers instead of being able to inflate the number.
Is there anyway to get more feedreaders without adding better content? That seems like really hard work and not something I would be interested in doing. Cant I just push a button or something?
The criticism, I feel is unwarranted — when in fact — you can assume one can add a snipet of code into their sidebar to display Google Reader feed-read analytics, along or just as you are with your Feedburner reader stats.
Personally, I think that was one of the points to them doing this — whether intentionally or unintentionally.
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.
It’s a good news.
The word “privacy” is here.
I think Google did ugly thing agian and agian.
