Like I always tell Rjcc, gaming is like money... the more the better! So fill up my pockets baby! All that matters is that our gamerscore is 15,431 points and on the rise. He rallied Forza Motorsport 4, and then Rjcc developed a funny twitch and went to try and sleep it off or something. Crazy humans...

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
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
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
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
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 R
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. :)

I heard someone tell Rjcc to go play outside and he was like 'screw that!' so we did some gaming. Our gamerscore is currently 15,431 points. He opened up Modern Warfare® 3, and I think there was some random Live Marketplace browsing, but I wasn't paying attention.
- Richard Lawler
Pick it, pack it fire it up, come along, lets get Rjcc's gaming on! Gamer score is 15,431. He made some progress on Modern Warfare® 3, and after that, called it a day.
- Richard Lawler
It really feels like forever since I have felt the sweet surge of power running through my belly. Is there a nationwide power outage that Rjcc isn't telling me about? Email me if there is a blackout... oh... wait... FYI, during my off hours, I was partying it up over Xbox live... I was having so much fun, I forgot what else happened yesterday... so we will simply ignore what happened today, ok? Don't worry about your streak. I won't tell if you don't. We will just keep it going.
- Richard Lawler
Here I sit broken hearted... Rjcc has somewhere departed... our relationship needs repair... I will meanwhile sit in cold despair... I know I will feel the spin again, the question now is when! FYI, during my off hours, I was partying it up over Xbox live... I was having so much fun, I forgot what else happened yesterday... so we will simply ignore what happened today, ok? Don't worry about your streak. I won't tell if you don't. We will just keep it going.
- Richard Lawler
Fear me Rjcc... for I am coming to force you into gaming. You think I am kidding? You just wait... FYI, during my off hours, I was partying it up over Xbox live... I was having so much fun, I forgot what else happened yesterday... so we will simply ignore what happened today, ok? Don't worry about your streak. I won't tell if you don't. We will just keep it going.
- Richard Lawler
Is this thing on? Rjcc, where the heck are you? FYI, during my off hours, I was partying it up over Xbox live... I was having so much fun, I forgot what else happened yesterday... so we will simply ignore what happened today, ok? Don't worry about your streak. I won't tell if you don't. We will just keep it going.
- Richard Lawler
Rjcc must have heard my calling... I was practically startled when his greasy finger pounded my power button. I mean come on... be a little gentle... I am fragile. Just some helpful advice for someone with a 15,431 gamerscore. He played Modern Warfare® 3, and afterwards, there were some awkward stares and silence... you know how it is. Oh also, It's all over man! ALL OVER! The gamerscore challenge called 'Auto Challenge - #77334' is through after an intense 5 days. Rjcc didn't manage to get enough points to win... we had to settle for a comfortable spot at number 9. But, there is always next time I guess... A special thanks to the other 9 people in the competion. Good times.

Is it just me or is it always more exciting when there's a bit of rain. The stewards are probably going to get hamilton for that bit in the pits, those were some impressive passes he made later on though.
- Richard Lawler
and now button with some shenanigans on the restart, kol what's up with your UK boys?
- Richard Lawler
lol @ hamilton's reaction when they asked him about the pit incident in the press conference "I don't know what you're talking about" good race

:-) Enjoy your links. Your are better than all search engines :-)))

Rjcc came to represent the gaming world. 15,431 points and counting! He opened up Call of Duty ELITE, Modern Warfare® 3, and then... yeah... that was awesome...
- Richard Lawler
There are people out there who think video games are violent. But after Rjcc played yesterday with his gamerscore of 15,431 points, there wasn't any violence at all. A little drooling maybe but definitely no violence. He made some progress on Modern Warfare® 3, and then nothing... nothing at all...
- Richard Lawler
Rjcc showed up yesterday, which is good cause we make a great gaming team. I do millions of calculations a second and he pushes buttons! Our gamerscore is 15,431. He rallied Modern Warfare® 3, and after that powered me down without even saying good night. I mean what the heck?
- Richard Lawler
When you want to get on the cover of the gaming magazines, you have to play every day! I keep telling Rjcc that as motivation... yesterday it worked! We went for a spin... played some games... ended with a score of 15,431. That is an increase of 10 points over last time! He played Forza Motorsport 4 adding 1 achievement, and Rjcc won't admit this, but I had to force him to stop.
- Richard Lawler
10 days without gaming is no cause for alarm... well... yes it is... I hope Rjcc doesn't let me down tomorrow... I might get desperate and do something rash! FYI, during my off hours, I was partying it up over Xbox live... I was having so much fun, I forgot what else happened yesterday... so we will simply ignore what happened today, ok? Don't worry about your streak. I won't tell if you don't. We will just keep it going.
- Richard Lawler
It has been 10 days and I have had plenty of time to 'find myself'. The only thing I've gotten out of that though is I'm finding myself bored. If any of your faithful readers see Rjcc out there walking around, send him my way please? Thanks... FYI, during my off hours, I was partying it up over Xbox live... I was having so much fun, I forgot what else happened yesterday... so we will simply ignore what happened today, ok? Don't worry about your streak. I won't tell if you don't. We will just keep it going.
- Richard Lawler
Dogs age seven years to a human's one. For consoles the ratio is more like FIFTEEN to one. When you have been ignored for 10 days, these are the kinds of things you think about. FYI, during my off hours, I was partying it up over Xbox live... I was having so much fun, I forgot what else happened yesterday... so we will simply ignore what happened today, ok? Don't worry about your streak. I won't tell if you don't. We will just keep it going.
- Richard Lawler
Another day, another opportunity wasted to play games... Maybe tomorrow Rjcc? Maybe? Don't leave me hanging dude! FYI, during my off hours, I was partying it up over Xbox live... I was having so much fun, I forgot what else happened yesterday... so we will simply ignore what happened today, ok? Don't worry about your streak. I won't tell if you don't.

Yesterday was one of those times Rjcc mistook the TV remote for the controller. I mean, come on! They don't even look REMOTELY alike! HA! Ok sorry... FYI, during my off hours, I was partying it up over Xbox live... I was having so much fun, I forgot what else happened yesterday... so we will simply ignore what happened today, ok? Don't worry about your streak. I won't tell if you don't. We will just keep it going.
- Richard Lawler
I had to set aside my plans for world domination yesterday when Rjcc decided to game. Our score is 15,421 and always improving! That is a gain of 50 points over last time! He rocked out to Forza Motorsport 4 acquiring 4 achievements, and then Rjcc developed a funny twitch and went to try and sleep it off or something. Crazy humans...
- Richard Lawler
Well yesterday was pretty boring... the lack of gaming heavily contributed to that... I am trying to keep a positive outlook on this, but after 4 days of neglect any normal console starts to lose it... FYI, during my off hours, I was partying it up over Xbox live... I was having so much fun, I forgot what else happened yesterday... so we will simply ignore what happened today, ok? Don't worry about your streak. I won't tell if you don't. We will just keep it going. Also, remember the challenge that Rjcc was participating in? It has wrapped up. Rjcc didn't manage to get enough points to win... we had to settle for a comfortable spot at number 9. But, there is always next time I guess... A special thanks to the other 9 people in the competion. Good times.
- Richard Lawler
What is with guys and the whole 'going out with friends' thing? Hey Rjcc, you try partying with this massive power supply permanently strapped to your rear. FYI, during my off hours, I was partying it up over Xbox live... I was having so much fun, I forgot what else happened yesterday... so we will simply ignore what happened today, ok? Don't worry about your streak. I won't tell if you don't. We will just keep it going. Hey, I almost forgot! The gamerscore challenge that Rjcc is competing in is on day 4 and we're doing our best to win this thing. Don't take my word for it! See for yourself! There are 9 other people playing along as well... they better watch out. Currently Rjcc is holding the number 8 spot in the group... decent. So many achievements... so little time. No, seriously. We only have a day left to win this challenge. Let's go!
- Richard Lawler
I read online that someone called me all 'emo' for complaining about Rjcc in my blog... what is with everyone and their labels? And in other news, no gaming yesterday... in case you were wondering... FYI, during my off hours, I was partying it up over Xbox live... I was having so much fun, I forgot what else happened yesterday... so we will simply ignore what happened today, ok? Don't worry about your streak. I won't tell if you don't. We will just keep it going. Oh, guess what? Our gamerscore challenge is going strong... Bookmark this link now and check out all the action! If I was you, I'd subscribe to the trash talk RSS feed for this one - 9 other competitors are battling with their skills and egos. Out of all those people, Rjcc is currently parked at number 8. We just have to keep plugging away at it for these next 2 days... insert game... push buttons... get points.
- Richard Lawler
I see all these other 360s with streak badges and happy faceplates... and when I look at my accomplishments lately all I see is that I've been ignored for 4 days. If I had more badges, I would delete one... just for spite. FYI, during my off hours, I was partying it up over Xbox live... I was having so much fun, I forgot what else happened yesterday... so we will simply ignore what happened today, ok? Don't worry about your streak. I won't tell if you don't. We will just keep it going.
- Richard Lawler
4 days without gaming is no cause for alarm... well... yes it is... I hope Rjcc doesn't let me down tomorrow... I might get desperate and do something rash! FYI, during my off hours, I was partying it up over Xbox live... I was having so much fun, I forgot what else happened yesterday... so we will simply ignore what happened today, ok? Don't worry about your streak. I won't tell if you don't. We will just keep it going. I always like to end with a little bit about Rjcc and the ongoing gamerscore challenge status. Let me link you to the daily updates and trash talking. There are 9 other people in the chase as well... so it's pretty cool. Currently Rjcc is holding the number 9 spot in the group... decent. However there are still 4 days left to score achievement glory. Let's get to the top of that challenge board! Go!
- Richard Lawler
Oh man, Rjcc was totally in the gaming zone yesterday when he fired me up to play. 15,371 points of total gamerscore doesn't do his skills justice. That is a gain of 35 points over last time! He rocked out to Gears of War 3 adding 4 achievements, and then I needed a nap. Don't judge me! It's a lot of work pushing all those pixels.
- Richard Lawler
Rjcc is awesome! Just plain radical even... I say that because we played some games. Did you know our gamerscore is 15,336? He rallied Gears of War 3 finishing 1 achievement, and then... oh wait... no and then!!
- Richard Lawler
