As an update to last year’s post:
- Toni Schneider — 1,052
- Maya Desai — 826
- Mom — 659
- Raanan Bar-Cohen — 452
- Donncha O Caoimh — 424
- Barry Abrahamson — 386
- Mark Riley — 222
- Jane Wells — 218
- Ryan Boren — 200
- Andrew Ozz — 197
- Matt Thomas — 193
- Liz Danzico — 148
- Mike Hirshland — 144
- Heather Rasley — 139
- Joseph Scott — 129
I’ve expanded the list to 15. A lot of the same folks at the very top, but new faces in Liz and Jane from 2.5 and 2.7 usability cycles. Also three people on the list have changed their domain in the past year, just like I did. It must have been a year for that.
Also for fun here are some yearly posting stats courtesy of Alex’s queries:
| Posts | Avg. Words | Total Words | Avg. Comments | Total Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2002 | 360 | 139 | 50,190 | 1 | 390 |
| 2003 | 429 | 168 | 72,359 | 3 | 1,287 |
| 2004 | 990 | 54 | 54,257 | 6 | 6,236 |
| 2005 | 624 | 48 | 30,090 | 9 | 5,963 |
| 2006 | 313 | 70 | 22,010 | 11 | 3,503 |
| 2007 | 334 | 60 | 20,267 | 17 | 5,919 |
| 2008 | 302 | 50 | 15,206 | 21 | 6,493 |
As you can see I’m doing fewer posts with fewer words than ever, but getting more comments. At this rate I’ll be down to 40 words per post next year. Yay brevity. 😉
Working on collating some travel / WordCamp stats.
lol at the posting stat analysis
Will it be at 140 characters some day? 😛
You should get your mom a domain 😀
Your mom sends more email than I have ever received in my entire life.
hahaha. Fewer words but more comments. this makes your life easier.
I do you do it? lol
The link for alex king was very useful. Thanks
If your mom’s email habits are anything like my mom’s, that’s a lot of emails with a subject line starting like, “FW: FW: FW:”.
Isn’t it time to tell us more about RoutePress?? You suggested it yourself last year: “You’re right, it might be time to release RoutePress.”
Dernnit! I missed making the list again…I’m now realigning my resolutions…
I sent you more email, but slipped in the rankings! Well, I know what I must do now. 🙂
That is the result of being popular, a little talk but so many replies
looking forward to the wordcamp stats!
BTW, How do you get these data of your email stats? Any tool to suggest?
I think Xobni can do some cool stuff like this.
Thanks, Matt, This stuff looks very cool! I think I may re-use my Outlook for this reason … haha
