To David: IRT "I find that Bloglines is down more than it is up.", I live in BlogLines, it was down for me on one occasion several months ago, that's it. I'm in SC, USA.

hi alex
never heard about netvibes... just took a look at the page, and it looks very similar to my windows live page (live.com).
does feedburner also show if someone consumes rss via windows live page?
in addition, what is your opinion about the functionality of the customized live.com page? do you use it?
thanks,
ralf

I find that Bloglines is down more than it is up. One interesting thing is that often it is fine from a US originated IP but not accessible when I use a UK/Europe location.

Is that just me?

Anyway, I thought that might explain your Bloglines % drop - it just ain't there anymore for alot of people...

Firefox is generally more popular in Europe than in North America, and in non-English feeds, Netvibes is gaining popularity at a staggering pace (especially in Europe).

Type of content, as well as geography do play a huge part in the breakdowns we generally see. Tech bloggers who have been at it for a long time still carry a lot of Bloglines subscribers, other more commercial publications tend to have a lot more subscribers driven from the portals, as one might expect.

Feeds that are a mix of text and podcasts see a much different breakdown as well.

Yes, synchronized feeds are counted as NewsGator rather than FeedDemon.

That is interesting, Alex, to see those differences in subscriptions. My lot are mostly still a Bloglines crowd. None with Netvibes yet. Another dynamic here, too, I think - the different types of people who subscribe to different blogs.

Plus geography may be a differentiator, too: I'm in Europe, you're in the US (although hard to see what that differentiator actually could be).

Maybe Rick can throw some light.
