One of the slams I saw yesterday after we started posting Google Reader’s feed numbers is that “nobody reads RSS.” Today, Erick Schonfeld at TechCrunch, gave us some more numbers so we can extrapolate out just how many people actually are using RSS. First, let’s start with…

This morning this comment was left in my last post: +++++ We’ve now posted on the Reader blog with more details about this: http://googlereader.blogspot.com/2007/10/subscriber-stats-summed-up.html The post mentions that the counts were slightly off until this morning, so keep that in mind when…

So Google recently made it fairly easy to determine the number of Google Reader subscribers around a particular blog. Gabe Rivera at Techmeme did a little work on excel and came up with an unofficial list of the top blogs and the number of subscribers each blog has on Google Reader. He sent the list…

UPDATE: This list is no longer accurate. Google updated the numbers last night and they all changed pretty dramatically. I’ll update the list later this week when I have time. Darren Rowse on ProBlogger showed me how to look up how many subscribers I have on Google Reader. So, I went looking…

On Friday, Google Operating System noticed that Google Reader will tell you Google Reader subscriber numbers for a blog when you search to add a new feed. It didn’t take long for different folks to start collecting subscriber numbers for different blogs. I haven’t asked the Reader team…

Google exposed the number of Google Reader / iGoogle subscribers to a feed in the crawler's user-agent and in the Webmaster Console, but that's only useful for your own feed. What if you want to see how many subscribers Google Operating System has? Now you can see the number of subscribers by…

Google hunters ferreted out a new feature late last night called Google Shared Stuff. The project is obviously far from ready to ship - but it's too late to squabble about that now! I've got high hopes for social bookmarking in general but this particular project may not be worth your time to…

Yesterday a select group of fifteen or so industry luminaries attended a highly confidential meeting at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View to discuss the company’s upcoming plans to address the “Facebook issue.” The meeting was so secret that all attendees had to sign…

There's been a lot of chatter about the entire concept of social graphing. I have no idea if there is validity here or not. And certainly people smarter than I am are talking about the potential viability of the entire concept. However, what I do know is that a lot of us are increasingly…

Google has just quietly launched a new social link sharing service called Google Shared Stuff.According to this help file, you can add links to your “shared stuff page” by adding a bookmarklet to your web browser’s “Links” or “Bookmarks” bar or by clicking…

When Google launched Gmail in 2004 many people wondered why it doesn't have folders. Gmail let you organize your messages using labels, which act like virtual folders: you can place a message in more than one folder.Every computer user understands the concept of folder:"In computing, a…

TechCrunch has the news that Google plans to open "a new set of APIs on November 5 that will allow developers to leverage Google's social graph data. They'll start with Orkut and iGoogle (Google's personalized home page), and expand from there to include Gmail, Google Talk and other Google…

A video disclaimed to be “Google - Confidential” with the title “Nooglers And The PDB: Reactor (Ben Darnell, September 6, 2007)” made its way onto a public Google Video page. A “noogler” is what people at Google call new employees; “Reactor” is…

Apparently Google learned something from Facebook's success and intends to connect all of its social applications. The new central place for social activities will create feeds for all or your events ("activity streams") and share them with your contacts, if you choose to do so. I called…

Brad Fitzpatrick, the founder of LiveJournal, who recently left Six Apart for Google has published notes on what he's going to be working on moving forward. It is an interesting read entitled Brad's Thoughts on the Social Graph which contains the following excerpts Currently if you're a new site…

Az Orkutot már nem lehet megmenteni, ezért megpróbálja a Google következő szintre emelni a social szoftvert. Ha jól értjük, az új irány, hogy a felhasználó neten szétszórt aktivitásait próbálják meg egy interfészen kezelni, és egy erős és jól működő UI-val megfogni a…

Valami gond van mostanában a Google felhasználói felületek tervezőivel, talán a fejlődés áldozataivá váltak.A video.google.com videó lejátszó oldala még finomabban fogalmazva sem lett jól sikerült darab, a kapcsolódó videók külön frame-be tuszkolása úgy borítja meg az oldal…
