Google Reader jumps into the lead

Google Reader has started reporting subscribers properly and the difference in feed stats is noticeable. Above are my stats from the past Monday. 105 subscribers with the biggest group coming from Firefox Live Bookmarks (excluding the Other group.)

Now the stats from yesterday:

Not a big jump in subscribers, just to 117, but Google Reader now has the majority (excluding Other.)

I will keep an eye on it over the next week as subscriber stats change quite a bit day by day. Feed stats are actually quite difficult to understand. For instance Google Reader hits my feed once and reports the total # of subscribers to FeedBurner. But Firefox Live Bookmarks is a bunch of individual Firefox browsers being fired up and hitting my feed one by one. I wonder how good FeedBurner is at leveling it all to report meaningful stats.

As for Google Reader’s jump it is not surprising. Google Reader has no competition.

(Liam noticed the same result.)

Hmmm... like most things I've had an account for a while now, but I find I get on better with Bloglines myself. The other good thing with bloglines is that I can see other users feeds (assuming they have set them as public) which is great for social stalking ;o)

I’ve used Bloglines for a long time now and it’s gotten steadily better. I tried Outlook 2007 but there really isn’t any future in a desktop reader IMO. A few days ago I tried Google Reader and you’re right - it really has few competitors. I just wonder when the advertising will start to appear – they seem to have reserved the screen space already.
