Yep, that's probably where it originated, maybe Chinese whispers have
happened too: "Google tracks..." sounds like it might have been a
mixed-up summary of something that mentioned the number of
Google/Blogger feeds.

We've not done the cover/Amazon blurb yet, though an approximate
number for the total number of live feeds (on say 2005-01-01) would be
good. Bob - any suggestions on how best to get a figure?

Yup. Real moving target stuff. Hopefully the sales rank (currently
#968,810) will be changing too...

Cheers,
