Identifying And Counting Feed Agents

A reader made a good suggestion in the comments of the Discovering Feed Agents post. I took that a bit further:
grep 'FOO' /log/apache/aggregator_log | cut -d' ' -f12 | sed 's/"//g' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head -20
This yields a list of the feed agents that most often hit your blog. Here are top 20 for this blog:
   2685 Mozilla/5.0
   2115 Bloglines/3.0-rho
   1163 Sphere

Announcement: Simpy Firefox Extension

Alexandru has been keeping himself busy lately. He recently developed the very first Simpy Firefox Extension! I use it myself now (on Firefox 1.5.0.3)! Please download it and send Alexandru your feedback and suggestions. The extension currently requires that you add its buttons to the Firefox toolbar manually, via View > Toolbars > Customize menu. To help with that, Alexandru created 2 short videos to show how to configure and how to use the extension.
The above screenshot shows the extension buttons in the Firefox toolbar, but there is more to this extension. Right click on any web page, and you will get a context menu with options to add the current page to your Simpy account, an option to check Trend/History for the current page, etc. Here are more screenshots. This is excellent work, thank you Alexandru!
