I just worry that some people will think "oh you have more than 100 subscribers, im just just have a lowly 14. I am finding some of the best content on vlogs that only have around 10 readers...what does that say about stats and content? I don't want peopler to get the impression that it is some sort of contest to get the most readers and this is the place to check who is on top this week...
nevertheless, I say keep it up there...it's not saying that these are the best people. I just know how i felt when i was getting started, and how it can be discouraging to think that you aren't even making a dent. I like the idea of just a bunch of people without ranking all moving along in a line together...but there are obviously leaders in the vlogosphere...I just wish that the vlogosphere was a utopia of equal readership and content....I can dream can't I!?
keep up the kick ass work though!

possiblity, which is encouraging to me. 230 readers is the top?
Think of all the potential viewers out there and 230 becomes very
small. Pick any niche market and there are probably more than 230
people who are online with the same interest.
On a bigger note, this data displays deviations in readership. We all
see the ups and downs in our own stats and it is nice to relate that
to others. However, I too have felt hurt by numbers.
Either way, it is just data... public data at that. And I hope there
are more people who find it interesting than who find it discouraging.
This was originally built on a "hidden" page where only I could
consume the data, but I realized that this data is no secret.
Personally more important was the fact that it was a fun learning
process to build a system that reads and organizes the data. Not to
mention finding a PHP graphing program (jpgraph).
