And now I catch up - here's the BottomFeeder downloads for the week ending July 22. We averaged 332 downloads a day in that interval, which is about the same as the previous week:
| Platform | BottomFeeder Downloads |
| Windows | 630 |
| Sources | 370 |
| HPUX | 333 |
| Mac 8/9 | 308 |
| Update | 172 |
| Linux x86 | 150 |
| Mac X | 142 |
| CE ARM | 112 |
| Windows98/ME | 33 |
| Linux Sparc | 19 |
| Solaris | 16 |
| CE x86 | 14 |
| Linux PPC | 10 |
| Source Script | 5 |
| SGI | 4 |
| AIX | 4 |
| ADUX | 2 |
Those are pretty solid download numbers, if I do say so myself. Let's check the HTML accesses to the blog pages next:
| Tool | Percentage of Accesses |
| Mozilla | 48.9% |
| Internet Explorer | 35% |
| Other | 11.1% |
| Google Bot | 1.8% |
| MSN Bot | 1.2% |
| Java | 1% |
| BottomFeeder | 1% |
Mozilla slipped a little bit, and the number of "other" tools jumped a bit. Interesting. Lastly, let's look at accesses to the RSS feeds:
| Tool | Percentage of Accesses |
| BottomFeeder | 19.9% |
| Mozilla | 19% |
| Net News Wire | 10.3% |
| Other | 10.6% |
| BlogSearch | 4.5% |
| NewsGator | 3.8% |
| SharpReader | 3.1% |
| BlogLines | 3% |
| Safari RSS | 2.8% |
| Magpie | 2.6% |
| Java | 2.6% |
| Internet Explorer | 2.5% |
| MSN Bot | 2.2% |
| Lilina | 2.1% |
| Planet Smalltalk | 1.8% |
| RSS Bandit | 1.5% |
| Feed Tagger | 1.5% |
| Feed Demon | 1.4% |
| Feed Reader | 1.4% |
| Liferea | 1.2% |
| Google Bot | 1.2% |
| JetBrains | 1% |
Still nothing resembling consolidation happening in the RSS space. Look at the sheer number of tools that cut a small swath!
