Can you remind me again where to find those stats?
- Brian Johns
Brian, go to "Me" link (http://friendfeed.com/brianjo...) which defaults to the Feed tab. Look at the sidebar on the right, below Discussion.
- Micah
0.75 (926/1226) - still relatively new here
- mikepk
I only see my stats for the last week (17/14 = 1.21) Please tell me your 670 number is for more than just a week!
- Brian Johns
1.44 (566/391) for brianjohns (after week tally you should see a comma then 'all time' count - I can see it on your page)
- Micah
OK, sorry. I'm a total dumbass. I stopped reading after the weekly totals...
- Brian Johns
3.74, which seems way off of everybody else's. I wonder what that says. I comment a lot more than I like.
- Cyrus Lendvay
FFers use FF with their own strategy or simply default tendencies. The ratio is an interesting snapshot of behaviour. Thanks for joining in everyone, hope more keep flowing in.
- Micah
from twhirl
0.66 - I tend to 'like' things without needing to comment further, I guess, and I notice I usually like the things upon which I comment. Well, frequently.
- ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
.39 (2457/6242) I guess I don't comment much. I do 'like' a lot of things, it would seem.
- Bren
0.62 then again i have over 11,000 comments
- Cee Bee
1.23 (5287/4229) - I am put to shame by Cee Bee's participation, good grief!
- Lindsay
So far: Average: 1.27 | Median: 0.81 ... (if you average 1 comment per like, you'd be 1.0 ... if you're 0.xx you might herd content more than discuss ... if you're whole numbers above 1 you may not 'like' much or discuss plenty or both)
- Micah
InPerpetualMotion(Gina k), I really liked this 'Like' of yours (in a series of pics, so I flickr fav'd it): http://friendfeed.com/e... and commented. Thanks!
- Micah
.68 6986/10194 Someone wrote a great article on the comment-like ratio a few months ago. Search on FriendFeed is crashing on me... I'll try to get the link.
- Mitchell Tsai
Thanks Mitchell (btw, search crashing on me too - lots)
- Micah
1316 comments/20221 likes (0.06), according to Windows Calculator, although I probably screwed up.
- Tyson Key
A recent change in FF: now the comment count shows total number of comments (previously multiple comments in one thread only counted as one) http://friendfeed.com/e... so all the numbers above are from the old methodology....
- David HC Soul
My new ratio: 0.76 all time (old methodology .52).... this week 1.39
- David HC Soul
Looks like my ratio as flipped again (comments back to dominating again). Seems to match my own awareness I've lately been commenting without Liking (commenting is my inherent recognition of value to me and the additional Like is when it merits an extra bump to help discovery by others).
- Micah
Rick, you mean that face with glasses I photoshopped tint into with an apparently disembodied arm which is actually very much attached to my eldest son? It's mostly just me :)
- Micah
Thanks, Michael. Yes, you have a rising tide of comment percentage (oh, wow, you were one of the originals from January - cool!)
- Micah
Yeah, that's a decent upward rise in comments, Nicholas.
- Micah
.6 (6,000/10,000) 3rd update - Now it's time to flip this on its head. My goal is to have (16,000/16,000) next time I post here. Regardless of what happens, I'm just looking forward to the next 10,000 comments, likes, posts, and new relationships I make here. It's all good!
- Michael Fidler
1.76 (7539/4290) My commenting habits haven't chanced much, but it felt like I clicked Like a lot less, and this ratio confirms that for me.
- Micah
.82 as of right now. edit: on January 8th it was 0.39 -- when I saw that, I decided to make more of an effort to comment. When I hit 10k "likes" I decided I wouldn't "like" anything else until I also had 10k comments.
- Bren
Jimminy, I'm copyrighting every single number. It's kind of a honeypot ;) Actually, it was curiosity mostly, but I also hope to build a sampling (small and self-selecting as it may be) for anyone who might want to analyze it.
- Micah
12.23 (844 / 69 ) I guess I take my likes seriously ;)
- Chris Myles
Wow I didn't realize I was so out of whack!! 12.23 that's got to be a record (and I don't even import my feeds with the summary as a comment)!!
- Chris Myles
Thanks JA, Chris (wow, 12+ is unusual :), Serkan and Nine!
- Micah
Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it". I NEVER used like for that.. but I did use a private group that if filled with my own topics (and comments)..
- Chris Myles
Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever.
- Micah
I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience.
- Micah
wow, what a difference time makes, when i 1st posted on this thread, 6.43%, now = 1.25%, for a 5.18% difference, :o (and this is the earliest post to date i've recovered of my activity on ff)
- chaz2b
chaz, I think there's been a big fluctuation for most people (maybe not that much). This is the oldest post on which you commented that you've recovered?
- Micah
When I first saw this: 1.91 Sept 28: 1.94
- MiniMage
536 comments in the last month has me at .8736...still creeping toward 1.00
- Bren
that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while...
- Bren
Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically.
- Micah
true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better.
- Bren
In 4 days it will be 1 year since my first recorded stat here. My comments/like were almost a 1:1 ratio then. Now comments are almost double likes for me.
- Micah
75,415 comments/1,286 likes = 58.64 - i wish the auto inserted comments didn't get counted... the true number is probably much much close ot my number of likes
- Chris Heath
1.97%. thanks again micah, this has been a great metric to measure my first year here on ff. As the year went (this being the first record of me being here that i've found): , 6.43%:1.25%:1.97%
- chaz2b
Chris, Bren, thank you. And chaz2b, thank you too - glad it's a special marker for you. :)
- Micah
63.58 (97,534/1,534) -- interesting that my last three digits are the same there, eh? (note, i already posted a month or two ago when i first saw this thread)
- Chris Heath
0.87 (3770/4312), so I'm either getting more commenty or less likey. [0.74 (1970/2667) was what I previously reported back in June]
- In Search of Gender
Last year my comments were around 7000 and likes around 2500, for a ratio of 2.80. I consciously chose to do more liking over the last year. As of today my comments number 10,782 and likes number 7,666, for a ratio of 1.41.
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Jason, Stephen - cool. Thanks for keeping updated here. :)
- Micah
Okay, Micah. <----I had to resist the urge not to post that because I know it's going to up my comment count. ;)
- Jenny H
But how many of those primordial, high interest posts are still active. Uh huh. :)
- Micah
Thanks, Morton. BTW, when you posted in February, it was exactly 0.13 also.
- Micah
Jenny, resistance is futile; embrace the rising tide of comments.
- Micah
Comments are more difficult and time consuming than Likes. I'd be happy about a high comment:likes ratio except that many are surely imported from feeds, while every Like is manual.
- Mike Chelen
it has changed to 2.2256 now as Sep, 6 2010.Labor Day. :) I added the date for future references.
- ۳۰ مرغ Loves Y'ALLLLL
Two years later and my ratio has climbed from 3.4 to 4.675. I've got a lot to say, apparently.
- Kevin Fox
Funnily, I didn't notice until after leaving that comment that when I reported my stat in 2009 I also followed it up with "I've got stuff to say." I didn't say it was *new* stuff...
- Kevin Fox
2.91; 6.43% (@ 2yrs ago) 2.33% (@ 1yr ago). for history's sake, this thread was started shortly after i found friendfeed, or friendfeed found me, so it holds a special place in my heart. thanks for keeping it around mr micah

You're certainly welcome, chaz2b. In some way it feels like a living heirloom to me. :)

0.75 (38,250 comments / 50,175 likes) (My entry above from 2 years ago said I had 10,782 comments and 7,666 likes for a ratio of 1.41. I've been busy, and my pattern seems to have changed.)

"A Samurai sword-wielding Mormon bishop helped a neighbor woman escape a Tuesday morning attack by a man who had been stalking her. Kent Hendrix woke up Tuesday to his teenage son pounding on his bedroom door and telling him somebody was being mugged in front of their house. The 47-year-old father of six rushed out the door and grabbed the weapon closest to him — a 29-inch high carbon steel Samurai sword."

Separate eggs. Whisk sugar and yolks until smooth. Pour in liquor slowly, whisking constantly. This will cook the yolks, so if they aren't whisked smooth with the sugar you will have bits of yellow floating in the nog. Add dairy, still whisking. Beat egg whites to soft peaks, then fold into the nog. Let sit for 24 hours. Serve with fresh nutmeg on top.
- Alex Scrivener
LO CAL? GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY EGGNOG!
- Alex Scrivener
If you want lo cal, get a smaller glass!
- Alex Scrivener
lo cal... what is the world coming to?! <mutters under my breath>
- Alex Scrivener
With all that alcohol, it's like a dairy version of a Long Island Iced Tea
- Spidra Webster
It is a recipe of halves. Of the gallon of liquid, It is half dairy and half liquor. Of the half which is liquor, half is whiskey. Of the half which is not whiskey, half is brandy. Of the half which is not brandy, half is light rum and half is dark. Of the half is dairy, half is milk and half is cream. Then you throw in the dozen eggs and the pound of sugar.
- Alex Scrivener
Oh yeah, this is some great stuff! Every year I forget, and every year I am reminded again.
- Alex Scrivener
from iPhone
Thanks for sharing, Alex. I'm going to hold some "taste test/QA trials" of your recipe around Christmas. If it's successful, you'll probably see about 15 drunken Jenny posts one evening.
- Jenny H
I'll be right over...unfortunately, this means I'll be there in 3 days.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Mmm, I'm at my mother-in-law's house and she makes something very similar. She makes the yolk/sugar/booze/dairy mixture the day before and folds the egg whites in right before serving though, I think. I know there was a bunch of Jameson's in it. Yum, can't wait - we get to drink it later today.
- Laura Norvig
Just did my first batch of this and it is nestled all snug for drinking tomorrow :)
- Jennifer Dittrich
This is some rock-star type egg nog. Damn.
- Bren
from iPhone
I made this for Thanksgiving. Everyone loved it.
- Trish R
Oh, I could make eggnog from the half-in-half left over from my Thanksgiving squash casserole recipe. I bought way too much.
- Greg GuitarBuster
Greg, as Trish says, this is a GREAT use for that :)
- Jennifer Dittrich
this recipe is the only one that actually tempts me to try eggnog.
- holly #ravingfangirl
OMG, it has so much booze in it. I think I was drunk after one cup. I'd like to make it again with about half the alcohol.
- Kelli H.
Kelli, same thing for me. I'm going to make it for Christmas with half the booze.
- Trish R
I make it at full strength (so that I don't have to worry about the eggs,) but then serve it with some extra milk to water it down a bit if people want to.
- Jennifer Dittrich
I wondered that, too, about the eggs. but it's just too strong for me so maybe I should dilute it that way.
- Trish R
Nice to see this bumped. I think we might have to make this this year.
- Laura Norvig
That's a good idea, Jenn. Or I could throw in some 7-UP (a weird family tradition of mine- I haven't yet met anyone else who drinks eggnog and 7-UP).
- Kelli H.
I agree so much. The homecoming queen from my graduating class has that on her profile.
- Trish R
Well, if it makes you feel any better, D, I pretty much hated high school.
- RepoRat
I didn't love high school, it was okay, but I'd like to think that I've moved on from then. I've done a lot since then that I'm proud of. Pre-algebra and working on floats? Eh. I'm also shocked at how many of my classmates are FB friends with the teachers and administration from back then. Wow.
- Derrick
I was proud to consider myself a friend of my high-school chorus teacher. Sometimes there are reasons.
- RepoRat
I didn't go to my 20th HS reunion cos... well, cos it was my dad's first Thanksgiving after becoming cancer-free, but also because most of the people there already hung out every week anyway.

"Believe it or not, this homemade version came about not because I was trying to recreate Rice-a-Roni, but because I wanted to make a rice pilaf that I'd had some time ago at a Middle Eastern restaurant. Without any orzo on hand, I broke up some spaghetti, toasted it with rice, threw in chicken stock and spices, and voila! I realized I'd whipped up one of my favorite box guilty pleasures. To be honest, I have no idea if my spices are the ones that actually go into that packet, but I'll bet it's damn close."

"Organic heirlooms are my suggestion, but if you can’t get those, then just use the best local ones you can find. Slice them up and place in one layer in your skillet (a round baking dish or pie pan could be used instead, if you like), add some sliced garlic (I used 3 or 4 cloves), some fresh thyme leaves (from 2-3 sprigs), and drizzle with some olive oil (I am pretty liberal with my drizzles). Lastly, sprinkle with coarse sea salt, top with a few fresh black pepper grinds, and place in a preheated 425 degree F. oven for about 20 minutes. When the tomatoes are looking slightly shriveled and are starting to brown, take the skillet out and arrange your cubed fontina cheese (David Leite says to make sure to use Italian fontina for proper melting) around the tomatoes. I hate to say this but I don’t know exactly how much cheese I used. About a cup, I would say. Use lots if you want the cheese to be the star; use the cheese sparingly if you’re just looking for a decadent way to accent the tomatoes. Pop it back in the oven..."

This is superb. I just showed it to my 5 year old son who enjoys Lego and has already taken some great photos, including one or two of his toys. So now he has the seed of the idea that, in time, he could take multiple stills and put them together to make moving pictures. Thank you very much for posting it and giving me and him that opportunity. Maybe, he might use FriendFeed one day too!

Of the ones listed I've only ever had In-N-Out and Five Guys, both of which are good. Personally, I like Five Guys burgers better than In-N-Out, but In-N-Outs shacks are great.
- Bluesun 2600
The Counter has good burgers, but the one I went to had the WORST waitress ever.
- Shevonne
5 Guys is overpriced and not well organized like In-N-Out.
- Oğuz Demirkapı ☮
I also like RedRobin burgers. They have really good ones if it is the right place. Same for Ruby's Diner.
- Oğuz Demirkapı ☮
The only one of those I've had is In-N-Out, and I know there are Five Guys restaurants in the area. I haven't heard of any of the others.
- John (bird whisperer)
As far as price goes, everthing is spendy compared to what it once was. With the way things are, your hard pressed to find a quality meal for under ten bucks these days.
- Bluesun 2600
Same here, John. I liked In-N-Out well enough, but not better than a couple of local drive-thru places here.
- Jennifer Dittrich
Yeah, some local ones such as Astro burger in LA etc. are also good.
- Oğuz Demirkapı ☮
Right now I'd pick our local Smashburgers over In-N-Out and Five Guys. We don't have the others yet.
- ronin
With the price of anything not on the value menu at McDs, a place like 5 Guys fairs pretty well in the price dept. Especially when you understand you can share one order of fries between two or three people.

Eminem'in de guzel sarkilari vardir lakin Elvis bambaska. Icra ettigi muzik turunun degil, muzigin krali bence kendisi. Yasasaydi 74 yasinda olacakti, belki de hala muzik yapiyor olurdu. Erkin Koray da simdi baska bir muzik yapmiyor ki Elvis yapsin. :) Yine de muzik dusunurlerine sormak lazim.

- Oguz Serdar
Burcak, Elvis ne soylerse guzel soyler, Elvis'ce soyler. :)) Ama "you'll never walk alone", "I did it my way" gibi eserler sanki orijinal olarak daha guzel. Tutti Frutti gibiler de var, Elvis'den daha iyi kimselerin yorumlayamadigi. Yine de kisiden kisiye degisir bu. Covers vs Originals.
