TechTalk Blogs : +83 days Time to check in on the health of TechTalkBlogs . It’s been alive 83 days. Feb 24 was when I first posted about it , so that is the date I am using for day 0. I’ve added a new row which counts the Days Alive. I used a handy little function in Excel called DateDif() to do the maths. (BTW — I love what is said about this function - DATEDIF has, for whatever reason, been treated as one of the drunk cousins of the Function Family. Excel knows he lives a happy and useful existence, and will acknowledge his existence when you ask, but will never mention him in “polite” conversation.) Anyways, for the first time since we launched this, there have been no new feeds added in over a week. Have we reached a plateau?? System Summary May 18 May 9 May 3 Apr 10 Apr 3 Mar 27 Mar 20 Mar 13 Mar 6 Feb 27 Days Alive: 83 74 68 45 38 31 24 17 10 3 Active Feeds: 248 248 245 223 222 219 218 214 196 183 Feed Items: 7,135 6,446 5,497 4,052 3,329 3,030 2,290 1,805 1,486 1,174 Votes: 1,786 1,663 1,633 1,398 1,331 1,178 989 883 1,068 762 The feed items are coming in at a great rate but the votes are struggling. We have some changes coming to the site which hopefully will see a change in the voting system. We will count clicks and treat them as a vote (though weighted less than a thumbs up). Other changes include search, pagination and some UI improvements which were suggested by passionate readers. Another observation - 5 members of TTB have exceeding 200 posts, and one has over 300!! That’s a lot of posts My question to you all - are you finding TechTalkBlogs useful? What else do you want to see?
