web 2.0 companies cant count?

I have seen a couple of occasions where it seems to me that certain companies just cannot count!

Google Reader cannot count

Today whilst playing catchup on my rss feed, I noticed that my Google Reader all items count was awfully high. A quick total up of unread items by feed gave 458.. all items is 548! A more obvious mistake was in Pownce. There it said I had 5 friends whereas I have 6 listed?!

Surely this is something simple to get right?

Google slowing down? Readburner providing interesting Google Reader stats

Riaz Kanani on January 21st, 2008

Check out ReadBurner by Alexander Marktl. It shows you the popular shared items on Google Reader and even more interestingly shows you who is sharing your items, therefore indirectly telling you who is reading your blog. Very interesting. Make sure you look for your link on the statistics page after you have burned your link blog.

I would surely have expected Google to roll something like this out - maybe integrated into Google News.
