FeedBurner has been real buggy for me lately. I often have to sign in three or four times in a row just to view any stats. And then if I try to look at a different stat, I have to sign in and start all over again. And the susbscriber numbers are all over the map. By the way, when I first signed up with Feedburner I discovered a way to keep control of my feed in case I ever wanted to leave Feedburner in the future. Hre's the link if anyone is interested.

The problem for so many of us is that we’ve got hundreds or thousands or hundreds of thousands of users all subscribed to a Feedburner feed. Few of us can ditch it altogether. If Feedburner were to suddenly disappear, the blogosphere would be devastated. However, I wouldn’t be surprised to see people drift away slowly and deliberately if a better service were to appear.

If they’d stop beating FeedStats with the ugly stick, I might be interested…

The widget seems to slow up pageloading significantly. The “Help Group” seems to be a self-help group. People lose large numbers of subscribers, and there are no explanations. Feedburner seems to be almost as dismal as Technorati in its unresponsiveness to users.

If you find an alternative, Josh, let us know!
