State of Autodiscovery
I was curious about the uptake of autodiscovery among the Feedster top500 weblogs. The good news is that about 80% have autodiscovery links. But looking deeper, I found some surprising results (all reports other than the last one rounded to the nearest 5%):
- 20% do not have autodiscovery
- 30% have autodiscovery, and top500 is tracking the preferred feed
- 10% have multiple autodiscovery links, but the top500 is tracking a feed other than one the site author prefers
- 40% have autodiscovery, but the top500 is tracking a feed that is not listed
- 0.4% appear to be defunct
I’m not yet certain what this all means.
