It is flummoxing and can be frustrating when people ask "so, how many people read your site?" The problem comes from the fact that anyone can read a feed in a different way. And that's a good thing, of course... just not for us counting! At the end of the day, of course, it doesn't really matter... but it would be nice to have that clear picture nonetheless.

To "I wish THIS technology existed." For instance, don't you think there should be a program out there that could aggregate your stats. For instance, I have subscribers on facebook, jacketflap, twitter, rss, email, livejournal, blogger, myspace, newsletter, bloglines, google readers, etc. I know there are overlaps, so even adding them up by hand doesn't give a clear picture. Seems like there should be some way to collate this info. !! e I find it fascinating that we’ve moved from “look at this great technology – what can we do with it”?
