Feed-Need Released

September 8th, 2008 by Johnny Mast Leave a reply »

Yesterday i have released Twitme the plugin that automatically announces your blog post to twitter. Today i have released my other plug-in called “Feed-Need”. This plug-in is not as big as Twitme is but it can be quite useful for those who like to see how many people are using your RSS feeds.

Here is the official description:

This plug-in was born out of curiosity. I wanted to know how many of my readers where actually using my news and comment feeds. So i wrote this plug-in, After installing the plug-in you will find an option called “Feed Need” under your Manage section. This page will give you a description of how many subscribers you have to both your main news feed and your comment new feed both unique as the number of hits the feeds have gotten. I have also added an option to reset the counters, this way you can measure how long it will take for new readers check your feeds`s.

    love the feed need plugin, as mentioned above already the ability to display on the actual website the number of subscribers would be a brilliant feature! cant wait for the new one with it in.

    Hello!

    To simply summarize what I think about your plugin: Great!

    Would it be possible to include a widget with the same informations available as we want with the option to select which one we want to display.

    Regards.

    Hi! Thanks for this nice plugin.

    No only your own wordpress feeds. But it might be possible to messure more data like feedburnr with version 1.1 wich i will release in the future.
