As Nathan notes, that # is almost certainly a result of FriendFeed being added to the subscriber counts. For future reference, you *do* know a person or two who used to work for FeedBurner and might just have a contact or two there who could help explain any future questions you might have.

Feedburner recently added FriendFeed followers into its subscriber numbers. You’re seeing your FF number added to the earlier RSS number.

Glad you took no offense. I’m not belittling your work in any way, shape or form. It was fun back when you used to talk about the company, but I know how hard it is to tip toe that line between representing yourself on the internet, and representing the company you work for. Back when I used to work for Nokia, corporate security was on my ass constantly about what I said online.

Enjoy the new readers

I could care less about Lenovo . . . . I read your blogs because they are interesting and well written.

Hi David,

While I must confess I stumbled upon your blog as a result of looking for Thinkpad reviews I’ve stayed for the commentary about New England life. I’m from Mass. originally and transplanted to Florida back in the late 70s and there isn’t single Autumn that has gone by that I haven’t been homesick. Your view and perspective on the Cape brings me a little closer to home each post. Thanks for sharing the magic that is New England with all of your readers.

Best,

Frank
