RSS

I can really see the effect of RSS on my blog's readership. When I don't post my blog sails along at 3-5 readers/hour, but as soon as I post my blog gets a lot of readers in the next 15-20 minutes, hoards of them, as if they're just out there waiting for me to say something, ready to pounce. That's OK--I kind of like that--I'm just surprised at how many people are reading via RSS. But then, most of the blogs I read these days are via RSS, except for AmericaBlog and Andrew Sullivan. Those I check on the fly. No, neither of them really deserves it....
