With Firefox 2.0 and the integration of the new (and far better) Google Reader with it, I've been using it for months but have always been frustrated by the fact the numbers were not being reported. I'll be curious to see what the undercount has been. A huge thank you to both Google and FeedBurner on this one.

As you mentioned they are not entirely based on subscriptions, but on the number of times Google Reader is the referrer. This means that added to the number of Google Reader feed subscribers comes the number of clicks to sites within Google Reader. In praxis : if Scoble links to you today you'll see a huge shift in your feedburner stats, because many Scoble subscribers will visit your blog from within Google Reader, but only for today and the following days the number will go down again. But nevertheless Mihai has built a great and successful application. Probably the most popular feed reader atm. But (especially the <em>listers</em>) we'll have to observe server stats for many blogs before the real influence of Google Reader can be estimated/calculated. Of course these numbers are interesting and I wonder if they will lead to a new service online : feedbaiting. :D Jeremy, the Google Reader numbers are not really correct.

I hate to use Google Reader, because the design is not very effective for me. Oh, I’m one of those Netvibes users. I hate to use Google Reader, because the design is not very effective for me.

I used to be a FeedDemon user but since I switched to Mac, I've embraced Google Reader (along with everyone else!)
