Things I’m not so sure on…

Why on earth is there an “R” standing for Thursday on the Feed Stats Dashboard graph? Never heard of the letter R standing for Thursday before.

I’m also wondering why “Uncommon uses” has been given such prominence… if it’s a rare thing. Maybe stuff like this could be hidden unless you happen to have an “uncommon use” of your feed. New features are all nice and good but sometimes I don’t think it’s necessary to show everything and approach it more from a need-to-show basis.

The title “Show stats for 1 day” is a little misleading – it’s showing the stats for the last 30 days but is highlighting one day’s stats. At first, I thought I was seeing hourly stats. I don’t think theres any advantage having “Show stats for 1 day” as well as “Show stats for the last 30 days” – it would be simpler just to have the stats for the last 30 days of the two.

Things I like…

I love that they show what paid-features look like and how they partially fade out demos. At a glance I can see what I’m missing out on, without having the features explained in detail.

I like their quirkly little messages. The service feels more personal.

Things I’d like…

Stats to be a little more than just graphs and tables. For example, simple figures such as subscriber growth rate would be handy. It would be fun to model the subscriber growth rate, and then do some simple predictions – for example: estimates of how long it will be before your feed reaches x subscribers.
