I saw an enormous jump in use of Google Reader in the server logs overnight [1], so I hypothesize that the link, which Kabitzin inserted into the interview makes folks to try out the Google Reader. Don't do it, people, that way lies abyss! Use normal feedreaders! I'm quite aware that the promise of cross-device portability lures you in, but each time you give a piece of your soul to Google, Kami-sama kills a puppy. Think of puppies!

[1]: "Enormous" has to be normalized on the blog size; in this case it means a jump from 2 to 35 or so.

UPDATE: The bitch also hotlinks. I expected better from Google somehow. Now I have to be careful about sharing. The reader delivers valid referrers and I can substitute thumbnails, but this eats the CPU instead.
