Great, except on the day that you launched, I’ve magically lost about 3,000 RSS subscribers. Coincidence? I’m thinking no, but hey, maybe I’m just not being a good citizen about it.

**Update: and in other news, Technorati just shifted their numbers dramatically, too. I do check in on my Technorati ranking, and this morning, I was 377. Not bad, eh? But this afternoon, not far after the Google experience, I just looked in there:

What’s up with this? Part of me feels like Obi Wan Kenobi: “I feel a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.”

I want my 3,000 friends back, please. Don’t be the new definition of the failwhale.
