Yet the point remains. Feedburner needs to step up its game.

Hi Keith,

The FeedBurner service relies on data from our partners (among other things) in order to correctly aggregate readers and subscribers and display that number to you. At times, partners make changes, or simply do not report numbers to us for a period of time. We have chosen to be transparent and display the actual numbers given to us by our partners, and not make up some number or carry over the number from yesterday. In these cases where our API and what partners report get out of sync, we do not view this as a bug in our system, but we obviously need to do a better job of showing publishers which reader or aggregator is "missing" from the reports.

There was nothing that was done intentionally here either – we didn't choose to remove friend feed from our list or anything like that, though we are working on rationalizing some of the differences between "followers" and "subscribers" in the context of social media.

Yups, I do know about this, however, this is not the first time and it will definitely not be the last time

Yep. You are right. Actually, removing Friendfeed makes sense. It was stupid to consider it anyway.

That accounts more most of the subscribers. I guess the rest may be just usual Feedburner fluctuations.

I Agree with you. Instead of making improvements with time in its service, feedburner is actually getting worse day by day! .-= Shahab´s last blog ..Torrent Magnifier: A Multi-Site Torrent Searching Desktop Client =-.
