One of the advantages it offers is tracking the statistics for your RSS feed usage. Publishers can also choose to go public with this data, and many of them are displaying the number of their RSS subscribers, according to FeedBurner, on their site.<\/p>\n<p>However, FeedBurner, for some reason, isn\u2019t trying to be a popularity measuring tool. They have the data. They have the capabilities. Yet, they\u2019re not maintaining any sort of top list of feeds with the most subscribers. The number of RSS subscribers is not the ultimate way to measure the popularity of a website, but it\u2019s a <strong>really important metric<\/strong>. If FeedBurner were to maintain such a top list, it would be at least as important as Technorati and Alexa\u2019s top lists.<\/p>\n<p>Besides waiting for FeedBurner to actually do a top list, the second best thing I could do is to <strong>create my own list of top blogs according to their FeedBurner RSS subscriber data<\/strong>. Maybe this experiment encourages the folks at FeedBurner to do the same thing themselves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n1. BoingBoing<br \/>\n2. TechCrunch<br \/>\n3.
