Last monday on our weekly call, mk, thenewgreen, forwardslash, and I were talking about the current state of data you can view about yourself and others. Basically, right now, it's just those little spark graphs that are in your profiles.
TNG, like me, was mildly aware of them but it was actually quite cool to look deeper and compare posting, sharing, and commenting history with each other. They may be little, but they're packed full of information.
Here's mine - you can hover to see the amount of shares / posts per day over the past couple weeks:
You can also see the total number of shares, total number of posts, and both as a percentage of the total activity:
Some interesting discoveries:
1. mk tries to keep his oranges and teals about the same and has about 2,300 posts about 2,800 shares. I personally like sharing more than I post.
2. thenewgreen also likes his blues bigger. While TNG's ratio and my ratio is about the same, he beats my total number of shares by 7,269! He's also been on the site for 384 more days than I have...but that still means he's been sharing an average of 18.92 more posts/day than I have. (I might have done that math wrong? Otherwise TNG is literally insane :-P).
3. minimum_wage's orange is bigger than yours (and the teal) with a whopping 66.9% of activity being posts rather than shares.
4. Unless "you" happen to be Mindwolf, who's orange is bigger than minimum_wage's (and yours) with 97 point fucking 4% of activity being posts. This is the largest orange I've found that isn't all the way 100% (which I am ignoring because typically those with 100% are at worst spammers and at best non-commenters. LMK if you find an exception to this assumption).
So Hubski, what does your orange say about you? Is it big? Is it small? Do you think it accurately reflects the way you consciously use Hubski? Can you find any other crazy high ratios (in either direction)?
