I shit you not. Look what I got:
I *usually* have 15 readers on average (that’s according to Feedburner stats — I’d think significantly less than that, say, three?)
Borken chiclet, then? What’s the matter, Feedburner?

Hehe. Looks like every Feedburner publisher has gained around 50,000 readers today. But I doubt anyone’s complaining!
Eh, not me.
I see you have five billion readers. Not bad…
Hi we figured out why you and some others are getting such large subscriber numbers. It looks like one of the aggregators that poll your feed yesterday polled on behalf 50k subscribers when it usually polls for 2. That is one of the ways we calculate subscribers is by adding up the number of subscribers aggregators say they are polling on behalf of.
It is pretty obvious who it is if you look at your Subscribers history at http://www.feedburner.com for your feed. We are contacting them about the issue and it should be resolved going forward.
I hope that helps explain. Sorry for any inconvenience.
