An interesting bit of information for those of you who use either
Google reader or bloglines, or both as a news and rss feed aggregator.
Heather Hopkins of Hitwise has a new post for all you Blogliners out
there. She's a VP of Research at Hitwise, a leading web analytics
firm. She writes, "It (Bloglines) is the most popular web-based feed
reader based on share of US visits." Or in other words, Bloglines is
beating Google Reader in the U.S. In an interview done by RW/W on
August of 2007, I said it was a "2 horse race." It still is.
Heather goes onto write about the differences between the user bases.
Bloglines users are also more inclined toward Photography websites,
while Google Reader users are more inclined to visit Television
websites.
...Bloglines users are 24% more likely to continue on to a retail
(Shopping & Classifieds) website.
It would be interesting to hear from Blogliners on your blogs to see
if you really do track more photography websites. We launched a Flickr
feed module in Bloglines Beta for our photography enthusiasts. We hope
you liked the feature and also like Bloglines Beta.
Enjoy!
