The feed behind my little orange XML button is located at FeedBurner (the one automatically detected is, unfortunately still the typepad-feed, but to change that will be another project). Here is today’s Feedburner-question:
I was under the impression, that most people do not maintain their feed on a daily basis. However, I often have fluctuations of 20-25% on some days. Anybody have insight on that?

Eric from FeedBurner here. Just wanted to drop you a note about your subscriber fluctuations. We determine subscribers through our proprietary algorythms which match IPs with newsreader applications. We then make additional inferences based on what we know about each of the newsreader applications out there. Sometimes these applications will poll a bit different so you will see some fluctuations. Do you know which reader(s) seems to have the largest fluctuation? If you have any more questions please feel free to drop me a note. Thanks for using FeedBurner!

That explains something. I don’t know much about the readers, am mostly just following the total number of subscribers. Time for a pro-account maybe…
