This morning, NewsGator released a small batch of usage statistics for the free iPhone RSS aggregator NetNewsWire, a port of the OS X application of the same name.
According to the blog post by Josh Larson, NewsGator’s Community Manager, NetNewsWire has already seen over 200,000 downloads, 115,000 of which have signed up over the last 30 days.
On average, NetNewsWire for iPhone users subscribe to 26 RSS feeds. One crazy blacksheep out there somehow handles over 2,800 feeds, which is absurd - I only pull down a few hundred, yet things can already seem a bit torrential at peak times. 2,800 feeds would be mind boggling.

2800 feeds wouldn’t be too bad if they all came from blogs like mine (one post a year!)
I guess it’s Mike or Scoble with the 2800 feeds …
wow, they should have at least charged $0.99.
It’s nice that they sync with their other applications. Maybe that’s how they recoup their costs, by getting people to buy the desktop versions to sync against.
Nope, that’s free as well
People should take their eyes off and let history happen.
Not in a cruel way but I really hope the person with 2,800 feeds is bedridden.
