1.05 (670/633) - Micah Wittman 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 Wittman

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 Wittman

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 Wittman from twhirl

0.79 - Brian Roy

0.77 - Eric @ CS Techcast

0.67 - Nine

0.77 - Shey, Jamaican of FF

1.12 - LogEx

1.41 - WorldofHiglet

5.08 (3181/626) ! - ◄ani625Ξ

2.41 - William Harryman

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, Photophobe

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 Wittman

I tend to like allot of photos which really don't need comments. - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)

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 Wittman

.37 1002/2708 - Michael Fidler

this is what scobes walls would like if he didnt have FF - sean percival

I haven't seen Marc Canter's fabled fence (just heard about it), but I imagine this but on wood pickets :) - Micah Wittman

This week: 2.48 (1162:467) but this is not the norm, my likes usually match or are higher than comments, overall: 0.95 (14228:14846). - Kol Tregaskes

0.49 (493/988) - Bluesun 2600

816 / 2502 = 0.326139089 overall | 50 / 233 = 0.214592275 this week I like much more than I comment. (maths via google) - Chris Loft

3026/5013 = 0.6036 - Roger Chen

0.107 probably the lowest here - Nicholas James

chaz2b, Bluesun 2600, Roger, Nicholas — thank you! - Micah Wittman

.76 - jamar78

5.25 but I don't know what this *means, yet. maybe I'm just stingy with my "likes" compared to others? - Marg Uerite

Thanks jamar78 and Marg! - Micah Wittman

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

*bump* - Micah Wittman

1.26 (2965/2346) - Micah Wittman

1.37 - Glen Campbell

1.74 - ♥patricia♥

Thanks, Glen and pea! - Micah Wittman

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 Wittman

.38 - Ryan Dadey

Ryan, I have to say, that's one high caliber ratio ;) - Micah Wittman

An update it's .44 which is an improvement from .36 - Michael Fidler

2.00 - Anthony Citrano

0.97 - Willem (@wim66) ☠

1.5 exactly - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick

2.94 1040/354 I have likes set to post to twitter automatically, so I'm careful with them. :) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)

0.73 up from 0.66 on Jan 08 - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ

0.37 for the week past, 0.45 on the whole. - Parth Awasthi

Michael, Anthony, Ahsan, guruvan Steven, sıɹɥɔ and Parth - thanks for dropping in your stats! - Micah Wittman

5.81 i'm not using it as does everyone else here. that is fer sure. - Marg Uerite

But remember, the comment counts also includes comments imported from other services. - Ahsan Ali aka. Slick

Ahsan, huh, I'd never considered that. - Micah Wittman

17942/30571=.59 - Alex Scoble

Alex, thank you, sir. - Micah Wittman

ALmost 2:1 exactly. - Amani

0.77 - Mathew A. Koeneker

Steven, yep, you were a 0.85 in April. - Micah Wittman

2.10 now ... - Amani

0.97 now. - Eric Johnson

Amani, so your comments have climbed a bit. - Micah Wittman

Thanks, Eric. - Micah Wittman

yes, but i am not consciously "not liking" things - Amani from IM

Probably, just chattier then :) - Micah Wittman

I'm down from 7.16 to 6.94 :-) - Ken Sheppardson

the live NBA playoff threads have ALOT to do with it. - Amani from IM

Ken, the FCC may be interested to explore how your "I'm down" may be offensively self-deprecating ;) - Micah Wittman

.56 eeep, must try harder - Threepwood

4.52. I don't bother to like things I've commented on, since commenting already flags it as interesting. - Andy Bakun

0.46 (1698/3638) - Glenn Slaven

Threepwood, Andy, Glenn - thanks (Andy, that's my mo too; then I'll Like if it warrants a "double vote"). - Micah Wittman

1.31 (4,471/3,401) - Karoli

Thanks, Karoli. And the both of us have a _very_ similar ratio and absolute numbers. wow. - Micah Wittman

1.15 ! Noisy... need more liking, I guess. - Ryo / Fuck Facebook

Thanks, Ryo! - Micah Wittman

Darn - 0.52. I guess I need to say why I like something a little more often :-) Liking this thread because I was wondering the same thing recently. Has anybody worked out the average from the numbers here? </islazy> - Andy Bold

Andy, scroll upward and you'll see a couple calculations from before (January: Average: 1.27 | Median: 0.81) - Micah Wittman

In March the Mean was: 1.49 - Micah Wittman

1.021276595744680851063829787234042553191489361702127659... via Wolfram Alpha - tom murphy

Thanks, tom. And though a bit verbose, your friend Wolfram is resourceful :D - Micah Wittman

0.55 (254/444) - Willem (@wim66) ☠

Thank you, Willem. - Micah Wittman

In April you were 0.97, so you're liking more / commenting less. - Micah Wittman

1.88 (779/414) - Ton Zijp

Thanks, Ton. - Micah Wittman

0.43 (3597/8305). - Parth Awasthi

0.74 (1970/2667) - Scott of Two Countries

And thank you Parth, Scott. - Micah Wittman

Parth, compared to your April numbers, you've been consistent. - Micah Wittman

2.12 is my ratio. - Rick Cogley

Thanks, Rick! - Micah Wittman

Np Micah. What is that photo? - Rick Cogley

.54 (4148/7674) Updated! - Michael Fidler

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 Wittman

Thanks, Michael. Yes, you have a rising tide of comment percentage (oh, wow, you were one of the originals from January - cool!) - Micah Wittman

1.82 from 798 comments / 438 likes - David Damore

Thanks, nivé and David! - Micah Wittman

2027/1594 = 1.27 - Brome

2.9 (3,242/1,116) mhhh.. time to straighten my use of FF a bit.. thanks for this entry - Thierry R. Andriamirado

Brome, Marc and Thierry - thank you! - Micah Wittman

Thierry - yeah, 2.9 is fairly high - got to pick the pace on like side :) [but hey, whatever works for you is fine] - Micah Wittman

Stats Update: Last time I commented here my comment to like ratio was 0.107 it's increased to 0.645 ;) - Nicholas James

1.91 - MiniMage, sheeple of FF

Thank you Nicholas and MiniMage! - Micah Wittman

Yeah, that's a decent upward rise in comments, Nicholas. - Micah Wittman

.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 Wittman

It's that time again. - Micah Wittman

.83 - Jimminy

0.78 - Pete Delucchi

.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, Photophobe

.11 - The Bohemian Penguin

And thank you Jimminy, Pete, Bren and Penguin! - Micah Wittman

2.47 as of right now. - Jonas, Leper of FF

Micah, are you doing something with these numbers? If so sounds interesting. - Jimminy

0.58 - James (!?)

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 Wittman

Jonas, James and Kurt - thanks you! - Micah Wittman

You're welcome. I hope the results do some good. :-) - James (!?)

.31. I have almost 4 times as many likes as comments. - edythe

.86 - Eric Logan

Thank you edythe and Eric! - Micah Wittman

195/245 makes 0.8 rounded not including this one which would be 196/245 making 0.8 unrounded, - tom murphy

Bryan, Mitchell and Jeff P. - thanks, guys! - Micah Wittman

1.18 - it's always been close to 1, since day one, for some reason. - Laura Norvig

Wow, Penguin is a prolific liker! - Laura Norvig

Jammy and Mathew, thank you very much. - Micah Wittman

2.16 - SuezanneC Baskerville

I don't know I just like that picture - Brian Hendrickson

.40 - Ben Hanten

Mine was exactly 2:1 about a week ago. Did a screenshot when I had 2,000 comments and 1,000 likes. - Joe.... from iPod

SuezanneC, Brian, B E N and Joe - thank you all very much! - Micah Wittman

Joe, it's like see the odometer click through a nice round number - it's just inexplicably engaging. :) - Micah Wittman

1.40, nearly the square root of two. - Vezquex: God of FF

0.58 - Andy Bold

Thanks, Raphael and Andy! - Micah Wittman

1.15 (6777/5873) - JA Castillo

12.23 (844 / 69 ) I guess I take my likes seriously ;) - Chris Myles

1.63 - Serkan Mutlu

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

.87 - Nine

Thanks JA, Chris (wow, 12+ is unusual :), Serkan and Nine! - Micah Wittman

0.89 (17818/19913) (Somebody better make a cool ass graph of all this data!) - Haggis (Sean Loyless)

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 Wittman

Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever. - Micah Wittman

0.9009 (6055/6721) - Jason Huebel

OK, so statistically, what ratio results in better interaction on FF? - Jason Huebel

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 Wittman

So I'm fairly balanced, it appears. I would imagine it's because I try to comment on every post I like. That's not always true, obviously. But mostly it is. - Jason Huebel

Just clicking "Like" seems too easy. I feel like I should say something, too. - Jason Huebel

383/372 - ashish

'Just clicking "Like" seems too easy' — Jason, that's because you're from the Chatty-ite tribe :) - Micah Wittman

Thanks, ashish. - Micah Wittman

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 Wittman

When I first saw this: 1.91 Sept 28: 1.94 - MiniMage, sheeple of FF

536 comments in the last month has me at .8736...still creeping toward 1.00 - Bren, Photophobe

.64 - Shannon Jiménez

Thanks, MiniMage (2x participant!), Bren (3x!) and Shannon (your inaugural visit!) - Micah Wittman

Thank you, SustainedEuphoria. - Micah Wittman

I 'liked" this to change my ratio! (1.22 1040/850) - Mark Jepsen

Thanks, Mark. - Micah Wittman

1.45 - Brett Kelly

Thanks, Brett :) - Micah Wittman

5.67 all time. Second highest ratio on here. Woot! I love to talk. - Kevin L

0.125, I need to talk more ;) - mridul

Thank you both, Kevin and mridul (the two of you balance it each well :) - Micah Wittman

1.80 (10,189 / 5,666) [compared to Likes, my Comments still continue to rise] - Micah Wittman

1.02 (10323/10161) - Bren, Photophobe

.5666 currently (30,084/53,093) - Alex Scoble

Thanks, Bren. - Micah Wittman

Thank you, Alex :) - Micah Wittman

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, Photophobe

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 Wittman

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, Photophobe

1.8 - Sarah is Novembery

4.26? - ‘-.-’ Tutivillus Grift

Thanks, Sarah, Tutivillus. - Micah Wittman

Micah this is like 11 months ago, I see you have almost doubled your rate. lets make a graph for everybody now, :) - Mahmood Padura

Quick, someone write a greasemonkey script to inline some google charts! (tap-tap-tap...wut? don't look at me ;) - Micah Wittman

Thanks, Joe. And you thank you, Mahmood :) - Micah Wittman

Here's is a screenshot of the bookmap so you don't have to download the PDF http://ff.im/b7wuZ - Keith - @tsudo

Gary is awesome and he straight hustles like no other - I'm so honored to say I know him. His book is the only "social media book" I've read. About 200 pages of SHUT YOUR HOLE AND GET YOUR *SS IN GEAR. QUIT WHINING AND DO SOMETHING. Love it. - Mona Nomura

If you want to tell a story try using a different format than 40 slides. Blog posts, pdfs, something. - Keith - @tsudo

If you are sharing a presentation so people in the room can ref the slides later than that is wonderful, but when did Slideshare become a content. Am I missing something? - Keith - @tsudo

If you want to really rock an audience, get those 40 slides all together, give handouts, then do the presentation without any AV, no project, maybe a whiteboard. And YOU. Get the content, get it in sequence, even if you miss a slide or two. YOU are the value in the presentation, and if you can pull that off, you hit a homerun. And from my experience, the people in the room will NEVER forget you. Been there. Done that. - Ken Camp

Nice idea. Even if you are in a tech conference you can link to the slideshare. I don't discound the value of a well designed presentation but so often people link to a slideshare and its little more than titles OR it is intended to be read not presented. - Keith - @tsudo

Perhaps its a new form of a graphical blog post. I'm not sure. Just trying to understand the trend. - Keith - @tsudo

Remember that you are never 100% right and you might have a inaccurate perspective - Keith - @tsudo

If you have an issue or personal disagreement, take it offline. It's easier to treat people with respect when you are separated by a keyboard - Keith - @tsudo

Don't flame or make it personal. We can disagree in a public space while being civil. - Keith - @tsudo

Do unto others as you would have them do to you. - Keith - @tsudo

The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good. - Samuel Johnson - Mona Nomura

So true. Thank you Mona - Keith - @tsudo

I've unfollowed a lot of accounts on Twitter, but I've only unfollowed one person publicly and that's because he was so annoying. That was the only Unfollow Saturday I ever announced. Otherwise, I do it quietly. I haven't yet had to notify anybody that I had to unfollow them because otherwise I wouldn't be able to follow anybody else on Twitter. And I haven't yet unsubscribed to anybody... more... - Dennis Jernberg

One of the key things that keep me sane while social networking = selective hearing (seeing). Otherwise, Twitter, FriendFeed, Facebook, et al., make me want to HULK SMASH my screen :) - Mona Nomura

I recommend treating the background as a left aligned sidebar. Since monitor and resolution size varies widely it's difficult to ensure that you're background image will be viewed as you intended. The majority of folks see at least 200-250px left side bar. - Keith - @tsudo

I dig the logo display and I think it's important for branding but in this case I think the images are the more powerful message. I'd put the images up top and size the logo a bit smaller and put in at the bottom. - Keith - @tsudo

I am removing mine. It looks find on most screens assuming the resoluition insn't like 600x800. But on my netbook, the Twitter page completely engulfs my sidebar. I think I found a better solution though. - Anika

Do share... - Keith - @tsudo

-Full disclosure- I have no graphical talent and my 2 cents should be coupled with the advice from an expert that knows what they are talking about... ;) - Keith - @tsudo

This conversation started concerning the wonderful folks at Arkansas State Parks twitter background. What's your take? http://twitter.com/ARState... - Keith - @tsudo

If you see my current template (http://twitter.com/faboomama), I have that bar on top. I think I could put some of my info there. - Anika

that's a good idea since the topbar stays similar regardless of aspect resolution. Never the less, I like the sidebar image. Trying to make the majority happy and I'm sure netbookers are used to graphical trade offs. - Keith - @tsudo from IM

Here you go: http://friendfeed.com/fabooma... If I bump up my resolution, the text gets small and everything looks even worse. - Anika

What screen resolution are you using? - Arkansas State Parks

I'm at 1600x100 and it looks like this http://ff.im/aTo2E - Keith - @tsudo

"I hate to admit that your post really made me chuckle. I’m a network engineer and while I relate to your clarification of who is and who is not a technologist I think it’s important to remember that the more technology is adopted and integrated the better it is for the tech purists. In the end if people are using technology to make their lives better then I don’t care what they call themselves. Geeks will always know the difference. Honestly, we can’t expect too much from HR managers ;) Enjoyed the post." - Keith - @tsudo

Yes, it does. Which is why I don't use it much. I greatly prefer Twitter and FriendFeed. - Dennis Jernberg

Just spent an hour catching up with friends who don't use either, and I'm exhausted. - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

lol I agree. I loathe Facebook. It's okay for keeping up with a few friends and their pictures but I vastly prefer Twitter and Friendfeed - Keith - @tsudo

Question. Everyone says this....but why? What specific reasons cause you to think Facebook sucks? - Maxamad (Amazigh)

There are various reasons from several perspectives (usability, ownership of data, etc.). Yesterday, I spent lot of time removing apps I never use and didn't even remember adding. I added a bunch of Friendfeeders who I now consider close enough to a different Friend List so they could see my photo albums, and there's no way to easily let them know. Adding a bunch of people to a... more... - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

Can't edit your own status updates or comments. See ridiculous suggestions made to you all the time to write on someone's wall and suggest friends to someone. Even help someone get a profile photo! - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

@Mehmet: Facebook does not promote discovery. I only get content from those I'm friends with and the meta (likes, comments) are not as robust because of the interface. It's about seeing more from the people you already know versus FriendFeed which is about learning about things through people I know and don't know. And the UI is just simply horrendous and distracting in relation to discovery. I don't want a MafiaWars update in the middle of my feed. - AJ Kohn

Better: do a search here on Friendfeed, and I'm sure you will find many more specific responses to your question. That will save all of us a lot of time. :) - Mahendra (SkepticGeek)

For Keith. - Anika

Almost makes you think Twitter should offer a scaling option based on resolution size. - Keith - @tsudo

You know, I had assumed they had since you can put your own background on there. But then I remember someone who runs his computer at 800 x??? That he couldn't see my background. At that time we had a 15" laptop, 17" laptop, 19" monitor and a 42" monitor. The background only looked good on the laptops and the 19" monitor. Twitter on the 42" one and the 24" we have now, looks ridiculous. I didn't expect this to happen on the netbook, which has a 10" screen. - Anika

I hate the 600px height resolution on netbooks, end up having some dialog boxes chopped off - Andrew Trinh from IM

Oh yes. Makes me appreciate those few websites that all me to move the box around. Otherwise, I need to go full-screen just to save changes. Silly. - Anika

I can't even fullscreen it because it's an OS dialog box, I just have to Tab it until I hope it hits it. - Andrew Trinh

"This was exactly my thinking. In the endgame Twitter has more opportunity if it is driving people to the web interface. Here's my take: Twitter Lists – the big picture http://bit.ly/1zB65H" - Keith - @tsudo

When I first heard of it, I thought it sounded like a great idea. Not sure how many people would have installed the plug-in though - Tamara

That's my concern as well. Not sure if it will catch on but a good option. - Keith - @tsudo
