Just a quick point on the methodology concerning bloglines. The good thing about this tool to measure subscribers is that it takes into account all feeds. In James' case, he has 8 subscriber feeds - a sample of the numbers are below:

http://www.redmonk.com/jgovernor/index.rdf - 252

http://www.redmonk.com/jgovernor/feed/ - 6

http://www.redmonk.com/jgovernor/atom.xml - 14

and so on. James' total feeds came to 610, compared to Nate on 189.

Hope this explains this a little better.

You say that, JG, but neither Charlene nor Nate is as prolific a blogger as you. I met James Cherkoff this evening (nice fellow) and he referred to you, half-jokingly, as "the world's most prolific blogger." Coming from the author of collaboratemarketing.com that's saying something!

yes the bloglines subs is a very very blunt instrument. I would expect Jonny to improve this over time, as you say anchor and adjust. thanks for introducing me to nate's feed.

it also strikes me that nate and charline, being social software bloggers, are of course likely to be linked to more than us redmonkers. not that we dont' cover social software, but rather we have a wider and more enterprisey remit.

i actually expect to lose my slot in the near future, but its good to see this engagement model at least being thought of.
