What is your FF Comments/Likes Ratio? (Comments divided by Likes to 2nd decimal place - as of now) - http://flickr.com/photos...
enes guler., Jennifer Dittrich, John (bird whisperer) and 121 other people liked this
1.05 (670/633)
- Micah
from Bookmarklet
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.

- Tinfoil 2.0
1.41
- WoH: Professor MOTHRA
5.08 (3181/626) !
- ◄ani625Ξ ಠ_ಠ
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.

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!

0.8576, I only like mostly when I'm going to comment
- Molly Song ;)
1.55 endlessly repeating. This Like/Comment included.
- Dana D
before this comment: .69 I kid you not.
- InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)
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
CSV_A: 1.05,0.75,1.44,0.81,3.74,0.79,0.77,0.67,0.77,0.76,1.39,1.8,1.61,1.12,0.141,5.08,2.41,0.66,.39,0.62,.62,1.27,0.8576,1.551,0.69

I tend to like allot of photos which really don't need comments.

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!

- Marg Uerite

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....

Thanks, Glen and pea!
- Micah
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).

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.

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.

Anna Torv talks 'Fringe' season three finale -PopWrap - http://www.nypost.com/p...
|
""Fringe" delivers so many game-changing episodes, the big brains behind the sensational sci-fi drama will soon be forced to conjure up brand new games simply so their show can change to them. This season has ramped up the dual world drama by not only adding in a Doomsday Machine, but also a little unplanned true love, a preponderance of backstory and the first baby to have dual citizenship in two universes. Tonight kicks off the final four episodes of season three and to mark the occasion, PopWrap turned to the woman who has knocked every challenge, or hair-color, "Fringe" threw at her out of the park. Keep reading to find out what Anna Torv reveals about tonight's "Inception"-esque episode, how Alt-livia's baby factors in and their -- no shock here -- game-changing season finale!"

"The compelling thing about the idea that 2D is the new 3D is that the 2-dimensional sets truly are better. They have the best, latest panels. They have the fastest refresh rates. They tend to be the thinnest sets with the best form factors."

- Andrew C (✓)
Jason, the ironic thing about this whole scenario is that suddenly, in order to be considered competitive, you have to want to win by yourself. nobody in the history of the league has ever done that. Magic ain't do it, Larry ain't do it, not even Michael did it. Kobe was famously mauled by the media and fans for "wanting to win on his own terms", and now Lebron is getting mauled for wanting to do the opposite.

Yeah, what Chris said. I was talking with my friend about it, and Jordan had Pippen, quite arguably the /second/ best player in the whole league, as his teammate.

- Rodfather
What Jason said.
- Shey
but Jason, did any of the guys you mentioned ever truly have a "stay/go decision"? did they ever enter free agency with realistic opportunity to go to another franchise that provided a better chance of winning? I'd say Malone is the only one, and he decided to take the shot at a title. the only reason you see at as a footnote is because he was 458 years old by that time.
- chrisofspades
I think it's basically impossible to be put in the same class as Jordan since he's special. He stuck with the team who drafted him. It started out bad, but then they got the right pieces and made it work. Everyone since then will be compared to Jordan.
- Rodfather
and another question: how would you view Garnett's legacy? he stuck with his team, came close to a championship, ultimately realized he couldn't win with the current franchise, demanded a trade, then won a title after a got traded. he admitted that he hung on too long, and even warned Lebron not to do the same. is Garnett's legacy tainted?
- chrisofspades
Looking at Garnett throughout his entire career, I was hoping they would trade him. There was no way he would win a championship in Minnesota.
- Rodfather
Rod, the same could be said about Lebron in Cleveland.
- chrisofspades
Lebron is more like Shaq when he left Orlando to head to the Lakers. Orlando had made the finals previously. So did the Cavs. Minnesota always sucked. Badly.
- Rodfather
This is what makes the top stars intriguing. Everyone gets the cards that are dealt. It involves who's on the team, who's running it, how much cap space they have, key young players who have small contracts, camaraderie, injuries, just plain luck, etc. The stars have a bit more control with their careers.
