The RSS Blog

News and commentary from the RSS and OPML community.

Bill Flitter:  Led by Bloglines, 70 percent of Pheedo managed feeds are read by only five aggregators. [cut] Pheedo is seeing Bloglines atop our feed reader statistics, followed by Firefox, Thunderbird, NewsGator and Sharpreader.

Randy: Pheedo's stats differ significantly from FeedBurner's or my own. I attribute this difference to the timing when these services came online and the customer base. Pheedo, a much older service, has Sharpreader, a much older reader, as #5. FeedBurner has BoingBoing and other top blogs using their service. Cross promotion of these services with My Yahoo! means that FeedBurner is gonna get a lot of hits from Yahoo! Further, FeedBurner has awesome podcasting support and this translates to more hits from iPodder, iTunes and the other podcatchers.

These stats also differ from FeedBurner's because the majority of our feeds are larger commercial or business-related feeds. So feed clients that appeal to readers of those feeds will tend to rank higher with us.
