I've been taking a look through the Apache logs to see what tools people are using to access my blog via the RSS feed. Here's the top results

The only surprise there is IE - are 4% of my readers looking at the DOM tree in IE, or is there some RSS tool for IE I've missed? There are two other notable results that I'm not sure how to trace - 4% of my readers are using the C library "Soup" to access the feed, but I have no idea what tool that might be part of. Likewise, 2% are using the Universal Feed Parser, but again, I'm unclear on what tool or tools are using that. If you add the percentages up, you get to 86% - leaving 14% to bots and tools I don't recognize.
