With the recent move of Google to show subscribers number in their requests, it become obvious that actually they are leading the Aggregators Market. I just moved yesterday some of my blogs to Feedburner and had a first look on some of my feeds, and for example in AJAX magazine Google is serving 43% of the feed readers (959) compared to 13% for Bloglines with only 294. I used Bloglines before only to have some info about feed subscribers, and I'm not a regular user so I can't tell in detail what's going on there. But for Google readers it's interesting to notice the big change that have been made recently on their interface, and how its leading the Aggregators Market, while it's still in Labs, not even a Beta !

I'd be interested to hear feedback from Bloglines users and see how they find Google Reader compared to Bloglines. Was Google more able to attract new readers for their Feed Reader with its notoriety compared to Bloglines. In addition to the fact that Google reader have a very fluid interface, excellent to manage feeds with lots of powerful information and features. Just notice that Google FeedFetcher include also people subscribed using Google personalized Homepage.
