Will have to keep a watch on this and check tomorrow.
50000+ subscribers is a dream. How [...]

As some of you may be aware, Feedburner has now launched a interactive RSS feeds called as Feed Flare.
As a test I have activated Feed Flare for the feed of this site. I have still not done so for my Connections Reloaded feed.
