Web Axe RSS Reader Stats

Just thought it would be interesting to post some statistics for the Web Axe RSS feed, provided by FeedBurner.

So what reader/aggregator application are people using? The stats last July were much more balanced. But now, Google’s Reader (or Feedfetcher) is still at number one, but has approximately 8 times higher usage than iTunes (and that’s Mac and Windows combined). Netvibes is next on the list, which is one of my favorite tools.

As far as readership goes, it’s been increasing pretty well. In just 3 months so far this year Web Axe has increased its subscriber rate by over six hundred, more than 33%! There are almost 1,900 RSS followers. Thank you Web Axe readers!

Chart of RSS Reader Applications

Google Feedfetcher: 1208; iTunes (Mac): 100; Netvibes: 89; NewGator Online: 71; iTunes (Windows): 58; Bloglines: 52; Windows RSS Platform: 21; Odeo 19.

Excellent web site re-launch from Web Axe listener!

Therese Nielsen, a veteran Web Axe podcast listener, has been a major contributor to the relaunch of the University of Michigan’s Services for Students With Disabilities web site earlier this year. The following is a portion of a message she sent:

I just wanted to let you know that listening to Web Axe helped me out a great deal as I created the site!…It has received a lot of really positive feedback, and a visually disabled student who is reviewing UM sites for accessibility recently raved about how much she likes using the site, calling it ‘wonderful’.

Thank you for the kind words Therese and congrats on the fine work!
