Feed Analysis: Online tool for measuring Feedburner stats

Feed Analysis
If you maintain a blog, there's a pretty good chance you're addicted to statistics. Whether you typically get 5 page views a day or 5 million, there's something irresistible about clicking the refresh button on any site that will tell you how many hits you've received, how many RSS subscribers you have, and how they're interacting with your site. Feed Analysis is a nifty site that lets you take a look at your long-term RSS numbers. Just enter the URL for your RSS feed (or any site that uses Feedburner, it doesn't have to be your site), and Feed Analysis will spit out a couple of attractive, and useful charts.

You can get a graph showing your subscriber numbers over time. You can choose views ranging from 6 months to 50 months. If Feedburner is set up to track hits on your page, you can also compare your subscribe counts with your hits. And you can even break down your average subscriber numbers by the days of the week, although we're not sure how useful that information is.

Perhaps the most intriguing bit is a note at the top of the first chart that gives you an estimate price for a banner ad on your page. While you may or may not be able to demand the listed price on your blog, it's kind of fun to enter feeds for popular blogs and see how much money they could conceivably be making off a single ad unit.

Let's start with the premise itself: Groundhog Day meets Memento. The game experience revolves around 'days': you explore the world and the clock slowly ticks towards the evening. You bounce around picking up gems and talking to the denizens of 'Level Upland'. Eventually you feel tired and head back to ...
