Oct. 17th, 2007 09:07 amI use Google Reader to keep up with my various newsfeeds and blogs (especially those not on LiveJournal, but some of the folks on my friendslist, too). It's especially good for phone reading, whether you have a fancy-schmancy phone or not, as it offers a fairly clean interface and good useablity (in fact it's better on normal internet-equipped phones than iPhones, as the "view original" link on each feed goes to a mobile-formatted version of the page, which kinda sucks for iPhones).
That's not the point of this post.
The point is that Google Reader recently added a feature that allows you to see how many folks subscribe to your feed (via GR), and I'm the only person reading myself.
Some other feeds of interest (I don't subscribe to all of these, incidentally.):
Wondermark: 969 subscribers
Abbie the Cat: 13 subscribers
Slumbering Lungfish: 143 subscribers
New York Times: 1,455,498 subscribers
xkcd: 19,491 subscribers
Boing Boing: 26,528 subscribers
derspatchel: 3 subscribers
crankyliberal: 3 subscribers
7 inch slam: 5 subscribers
John Hodgman: 450 subscribers
Jonathan Coulton: 474 subscribers
Stephen Colbert: 1,598 subscribers
It's nice to see that Spatch's cat is four times as popular as he is. Most everybody else on the frienslist only has one subscriber (read: me).
If you're a data junkie like me, check it out!
