My website provides hundred of feeds for almost everything on it. I was curious about how popular these feeds are so I dug into my server’s access logs, and with a little command line scripting produced this chart:
The chart shows the download counts for the top twenty feeds over the period of last six months. Notice the logarithmic scale of the y-axis. The numbers seem to roughly follow the Power law of distribution. The top ten feeds are:
- Programming posts and notes
- Posts
- Notes
- Posts and notes
- Posts tagged Haskell
- Now
- Linkblog
- Blogroll
- Changelog
- Everything
It probably does not make sense to provide tag-wise feeds for the Microblog and the Linkblog. I may consider removing them in future.
