The blogosphere hiccuped this weekend, as FeedBurner started reporting what most folks are calling "half the number of normal RSS subscribers." Lots of folks around the blogosphere seemed real concerned about it, and it even hit TechMeme for a while, but we didn't note it while it was going on. I suppose that most of us have better things to do than obsessively check our feed counts.
Most folks figured it out without panicing, though there were some exceptions: Feedburner glitched, and something caused it to mis-report Google Reader's Feedfetcher hits as zero.
Feedburner posted an official explanation today:
It appears to have rallied, however, and amid firm declarations of "I'm never doing that again", Feedfetcher has started diligently reporting subscriber numbers to us, early this morning Pacific Time.
They also said that numbers may not quite be up to snuff today, but should be fully righted by Monday.
