Finally, Google and Feedburner talk with each other
As an avid watcher of (my) blog statistics I always thought it was a good idea when Google cooperated with Feedburner on their statistics program. This weekend it finally became reality. my subscriber number soared through the 500, registering an absolute maximum of 530 last Friday.
I known it is all relative.
I am probably the most frequently subscribed reader, with a Bloglines account, Netvibes, Google reader and a Google personal account. But studying the previous Information Professional, I know that Eric S. is using Feedburner and Bloglines to follow this blog. So there will be, and should be some inflation in these figures. My inquisitive colleagues are experimenting, testing with all kind of means to read and try RSS readers for their patrons.
But it is interesting to watch this jump in reader base anyway.
On the other hand, as a distant Internet business watcher, it is interesting to see Google approaching a small (but interesting) player in the Web statistics business. Will there be another successful takeover in the make?
