Checked out the my RSS subscriber count today and there was a huge jump in numbers , Although this made me happy I was a bit surprized since there wasn't a huge surge in traffic to suggest such a thing. So I analyzed the subsriber data a bit thoroughly and found out that your FriendFeed subscribers now count towards your blogs RSS subscribers. Although the increase in numbers may give you more social proof and make you feel good this is a very misleading statistic. If you are not familiar with FriendFeed its a service that aggregates all your social media activities to one place. Your tweets , stumbles , diggs and blog posts all appear in your FriendFeed time line. Check out my FriendFeed timeline to get an idea of what FriendFeed does. Feel free to subscribe while you are in there

Since all my social media activities are displayed in FriendFeed someone might subscribe to my feed because they like my stumbles or tweets. So a FriendFeed subscriber doen't mean he really likes my blog posts or he is subscribed to my blog. In blogging and especially in making money online number do count and gives you credibility. So there is no harm in increasing your FriendFeed subscribers.I have being using FriendFeed for a while and its a great source to find great post to feed your Twitter account or to stumble .
