Actually, I'm nearing 500 premium users. That's the number of premium users using NewsBlur in the past 24 hours. In fact, all of those stats are aggregate for the past 24 hours.
It's the kind of transparency that I think goes hand-in-hand with being open-source. Why bother hiding it? I'm constantly watching those stats, so maybe other folks may also be interested. It also helps to know when there's a ton of activity, in case the site feels slow. Although it's been a long time that having a huge spike in traffic has made the site slow. Check that average load time graph. Notice how even though the number of feeds loaded has spiked in the past 3 hours, the average load time has actually gone down. Stats, for those who care, are endlessly fascinating.
