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
- chaz2b
You're certainly welcome, chaz2b. In some way it feels like a living heirloom to me. :)
- Micah
3 (2.991) (and now the list has become too lengthy for me to track my progress, ;) [dumb me, i have a post not 10 lines ago in history, from 090711 2.91; 6.43% (@ 2yrs ago) 2.33% (@ 1yr ago) ;) ]

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.)
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
....very surprising pick at #3, but Dion Jordan from Oregon is huge (6-foot-6) and fast (4.61 40-yard dash)... hard to leave a pass-rushing LB like that on the board if you can get him...

"I appreciate the thoughtful and thorough review of online play. I have stayed away from MLB the show the past two years due to online issues. I trust yours (and others) reviews and will definitely get this game in the next few weeks. I might even join an online league! Good review."
- Amani
"Excellent Podcast. You all make some great points about content and how it isn't sustainable to try to "game" the various algorithms. If you continue create great content, the people will come and return. Well done."

"The key will be how online play is. It must be improved for me to play the game. Although the offline feature set is pretty strong, I want seamless online play (Franchise, leagues, 1v1) to be an option."

I'm going to have to consult my Goodreads. I don't know if this is because I've not read anything memorable this year, or if my memory is shot.

I even forget to update my goodreads. I'm doomed!

Blackout, All Clear and Doomsday by Connie Willis stand out. I'll get some better details from my Goodreads when I'm up later today. /edit; I'd add Operation Mincemeat by Ben Macintyre, and The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley.

One book made it into my favorite books of all time - Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. Runners up were The Hunger Games, The Hours by Cunningham and The Pastures of Heaven by Steinbeck. Here's the rest http://bebrightasyellow.tumblr.com/post...

"Way to hang in there and give us your expertise late into the night. I agree, this is the start of something bigger. We haven't even discussed the 5 starters we have out due to injury (including both safeties).I am curious to see your analysis on LeRib's 20 or so snaps."
- Amani
"Excellent points on the one Griffin run where he was tripped by Winfield. I said the same thing to my friend as we were watching the game. Also, excellent point on the bubble screen to Banks. There are plays for Banks to get into the open field and do damage. We just need one more block. I would assume that the more Kai kicks off, the better he will become?"
- Amani
"Best play of the drive was that last slant to Moss. Crucial. Also, that 20 yard run was huge and completed four straight awesome plays. Even the dump off to Royster was ok. Move the chains forward."
- Amani
"Nice post yet again. Any thoughts on using the timeline for other things besides Milestones (Which is very effective)? Also, will Facebook ever let a Group be transformed into a page?"

"Another kernel for us to keep an eye on - " In the first half, Montgomery would snap after about two seconds. In the second half, it was closer to one second. I paid attention to it just to see if New Orleans’ linemen would eventually figure it out as well. But the Redskins changed it up later, as they should have." <-- great catch there."
- Amani
"This is why your analysis continues to be impressive - "Hall blitzed 10 times when lined up in the slot and each time his head was turned toward the quarterback before the snap. When he wasn’t going to blitz, his eyes were turned toward the receiver." Please share this with hall (And Mr. Raheem Morris), and see if he can fix this. If he can, he will get 5-7 sacks this season."
- Amani
"Hey John - Are you getting the all-22 camera access that we fans now have access too this season? The only challenge for your articles is that it isn't released until Wednesday. But if you add that to your tool belt ... you would continue to distance yourself as the premier Skin's beat journalist. Thoughts?"
- Amani
"Excellent analysis. In your opinion, who is in the lead for the starting RT job for game #1? Does Alfred Morris have a chance to be the starter week 1? We will keep an eye on Cousins. How soon could he eclipse Rex as the #2 QB? I think of Houston last year with a rookie QB late in the season and the playoffs."
- Amani
"Excellent analysis John. I particularly enjoyed the timing stats (comparing Griffin/Cousins to Grossman) and how long Griffin held the ball on the throws. Let's keep an eye on Gettis. I am curious to see how he improves after each game. How were the shotgun stats from Montgomery (in terms of time)?"
- Amani
"This offensive line continues to break down before the season. The only bright side is that the younger players will get a chance to show what they have early on in the game. Out of LeRib, Gettis, Polumbus, White and Black ... someone has to step up and shine. Right?"
- Amani
"I would also say that EA's lack of focus on their core customers with the Madden series has caused a decline in sales. They have ignored their customers to reach the mainstream and it has hurt the bottom line. Too much emphasis on DLC has hurt their largest selling franchise which hurts their bottom line. To their credit FIFA and NHL continue to be strong titles."
- Amani
"I have enjoyed your content for many years that you have been live. I look forward to your new evolution. And I agree about 50 different sources covering the same thing. It's crazy. I can't wait to see how you school us in the future. Great idea!"
