Feedburner Adds Friendfeed – Subscriber Data For Socialstreaming and Lifestreaming

By Andy Beard | Published: June 18, 2009
Chris Cree spotted today that Friendfeed subscribers are now counted towards Feedburner stats. Friendfeed Now Counted In Feedburner It can make quite a striking difference with Feedburner if you have a few followers there. feedburner-friendfeed But even this doesn't really account for the shifting sands in online attention. The latter half of this post was originally published Mar 21, 2008 @ 20:38 Since then Twitter has for many people emerged as the primary way they read RSS feeds, combined with various forms of lifestreaming. The first time I see tweets and blog posts often is also on services such as Blogcatalog's dashboard or even Mybloglog (though that can sometimes lag a little on updates these days)

Current Calculation Problems

  • Blogcatalog & Mybloglog numbers are just as relevant as Friendfeed
  • Twitter numbers are probably more relevant than any Lifestreaming service
  • Facebook subscribers are still not counted
  • Aweber & Feedblitz, along with Feedburners own RSS to Email service are included, but they are the only ones I know about. Where is the Getresponse support Simon? Infusionsoft should really offer something as well, though they don't offer RSS to email - I am not sure about Mailchimp
The onus really is on the developers of these other platforms to report numbers to Feedburner, but I have no idea how that can be managed with Facebook and Twitter.

How To Find FriendFeed Rooms With Google

By Andy Beard | Published: May 25, 2008
I noticed within the new Problogger room on FriendFeed, Darren mentioned the following:-
“feel free to invite others to this room - as long as they are bloggers and/or are interested in the ProBlogger type topic I'm happy for anyone and everyone to join. I've invited all my contacts on FF. Pity there's no list of public groups for people to join.”
Whilst there isn't a public list, in many ways Google with a site search query these days provides a very real alternative.
