I just read over at The Blog Herald that feed subscribers reading through Google’s Reader are now all being displayed via FeedBurner. Google Readers previously just displayed as “1″.
Publishers have been asking us to report the number of users that are subscribed to their feeds in Google Reader. This is something we’ve been wanting to do for a while, but with all the products that use feeds at Google, corralling the data in one place was like herding cats. So herd we did, and as of today, our crawler reports the number of Google users subscribed to the feed. The count includes subscribers from Google Reader and the Google Personalized Homepage, and in the future may include other Google products that support feeds.
It’s amazing the change in readership numbers this update has caused. TechCrunch now has over 270k readers (up from 170-190k before the update) and Darren over at ProBlogger is pushing 20k subscribers.
As far as NBB’s readership … well I’ve officially become more evil than John Chow.

666, oh no. Maybe I should stay away just for today haha.
This just proves that Google did make a deal with the devil.
270K subscribers to Techcrunch, thats actually quite amazing. It means when Mike arrington decides to say something, potentially a quarter of a million people will hear about it… and thats just subscribers, theres also all the people who visit the blog!
Google finally reporting the subscriber data is definitely going to give many bloggers a nice ego boost :) Interesting number of subscribers you have though. Congrats on over-taking John on the evil scale!
Definitely gave me a small boost :P But then again, I blog during my free time, not for a living.
Congratulations on the growing readership. Your blog is indeed very well written and informative.
