Wild parrots of sycamore canyon - http://karoli.posterous.com/wild-pa...

Monday from pic of the day - Comment - Like - Share

On any given day, one can walk on the paths of sycamore canyon near Malibu and hear the shrieks of the wild parrots. They travel in pairs (the other one is out of the frame to the left), and are loud, insistent and gorgeous. I had fun Sunday catching them at dinner time. Permalink | Leave a comment » - Karoli

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

.87 - Nine

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

1.78 (8529/4782) - Micah

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

Thank you, Alex :) - Micah

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

"All points well taken, though I am not qualified to diagnose anyone as mentally ill. Their behavior, however, certainly appears obsessive. It is little comfort to know that this behavior is as old as online interaction. Yes, that's true. It is. However, you would like to think the geniuses who come up with innovative new ideas all the time could spend some of that brainpower on the problem of identity and interaction. If I could filter my interaction so that I only dealt with identities proven to be tied to an actual living, breathing person without knowing IRL identities, I would." - Karoli

"I wholeheartedly disagree. Without those people out in the public square, we would still be talking about these ridiculous austerity measures at a time where people are suffering badly. They force us, as a society, to pay attention to what is really affecting people in this country. Listen. You have an asshat businessman out there saying he won't hire anyone until Obama is out of office. Not just saying so, but advertising it. ADVERTISING IT on every damned truck he's got. Do you suppose anyone gives a damn about students bending under the weight of usury student loans, outrageous school fees for universities that used to be publicly funded in California, or middle-aged people like me who are discriminated against on a daily basis because we either lack the proper college pedigree or are just too old for their liking? No. And those people point it out. Are there anarchists and Paulites and LaRouchies out there in the public square? Yes. But they do not represent the overall people out..." - Karoli

"This post is great for some perspective on a genre I have a great deal of difficulty understanding. Having understood it, however, I remain unconvinced that my computer or my ipod are appropriate venues for this music, at least for me personally. Music isn't one-way; listeners make an investment in it as well. Perhaps there is just enough dissonance in the world as it is that for some, investing in more of it is untenable." - Karoli
