Mihai Parparita, a developer in the Google Reader service has come out with a new idea that really motivates readers. Now you can check your reading statistics:

Playing around with these ideas, I created a simple Reader “trends” page, inspired by Google Trends as well as the Search History Trends page. After showing it to the rest of the Reader team and a few other interested Googlers, I began to gather feedback and implemented it. Most helpful was when Jeff and Doug rolled up their sleeves and applied some of the same thinking that went into Measure Map to this new Reader page. This went beyond just making things pretty; they helped make things easier to digest and understand.

For all who haven’t tried yet Google Reader, it’s an amazing Feeds reader! Just like Gmail’s interface, it’s a cross-browser service that keeps you up to date with your subscribed feeds.
