Need to know how to show extra subscribe options when open RSS feed in web browser?

By default it shows "Subscribe to this feed" but i want to have also these:

"Add this feed to iGoogle" and "Subscribe to this feed in Google Reader"

Need help.

Isn`t this a browser setting? A feed link will load in whatever the user has set as their feed reading preference. I`m not sure you can force a specific application to open a feed.

As Dreamcatcher said, I don't think you can.

Another option would be to use a third-party, I personnally use FeedBurner and multiple options are offered when accessing my RSS.

Otherwise, just a thought, may be there is a workaround using meta link (e.g. <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS Feed on iGoogle" href="iGoogle_URL?your_RSS_URL" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS Feed on Google Reader" href="Google_Reader_URL?your_RSS_URL" />)

Feedburner loads feed and visitor leaves website where is published this feed. How to avoid this but have the best possible analytics?

What is the best way for analytics even paid?
