[consulting] Tracking readership via RSS

Instead of sending you links Bill, I was able to find some good material by
searching google for "feedburner alternatives" and "rss subscription
counter" (or statistics)

I'm sure you recognize that rss subscription statistics are inherently vague
and imprecise by nature, correct? You would find equally useful statistics
through standard web server log analysis statistics on the specific xml/rss
pages.

Cheers,
Ryan
