(no subject)

It has been said several times that I seem to post quite rarely to LJ (for someone who actually uses his journal), and wondering if that's true I did a quick sanity check on the numbers. In five years I've averaged 2.5 days between posts. Amongst people I consider very active users, 1.5-2.5 days seems to be the typical range, with a small set way over (like jpicon with 2.6 posts per day), but not necessarily with a corresponding perception of increase in usage.

So, open-endedly, with perhaps some sort of poll to come once I've isolated the key factors, what do you think drives your perception of usage? Volume of posts? Length of posts? Consistency of posting (I for instance seem to have large variance between peaks of activity and valleys of not using LJ much at all)? Interestingness of posts? Comment volume of posts?

What makes you think someone is a significant user? Do you consider yourself a very active user, and what affects that perception?

The speeding phenomenon

[cristovau.livejournal.com]

For me lj use is sort of like driving. People who go faster than me are maniacs, people who are slower are tortoises.

Size and speed matter. Originality matters. One thing I've noticed is there is a momentum factor. The more you post, the more interest you generate.

I would be interested in seeing a stat on frequency related to comment depth.
