It'd be nice if there was a more granular breakdown on Feedfetcher's end. How many are using iGoogle vs Reader. Maybe I should kill the CNAME for feeds.coreygilmore.com and instead configure a <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_proxy.html" rel="nofollow">ProxyPass</a> in Apache and bounce everything to Feedburner so I can see the raw logs. More importantly since subscriber counts are reported through the User-Agent header, what would happen if I hit my feed with a dummy header like: <pre lang="text">User-Agent: Feedfetcher-Google; (+http://www.google.com/feedfetcher.html; 919178198 subscribers; feed-id=1456791204578917789)</pre> The redirects might be giving you multiple feed-ids, and Reader is (somehow) not combining them.

Feedburner says 889 readers from the Google Feedfetcher for my feed, while Reader says 848. i wonder if the disparity has to do with transparent redirects from older feeds. interesting.
