Comments on: The wisdom of crowds or what this blog is about http://www.academicproductivity.com/2008/so-what-is-this-blog-about/ A survival guide for the 21st century researcher Thu, 21 Aug 2008 14:28:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Terrell Russell http://www.academicproductivity.com/2008/so-what-is-this-blog-about/#comment-23511 Terrell Russell Mon, 14 Apr 2008 17:06:52 +0000 http://www.academicproductivity.com/blog/2008/so-what-is-this-blog-about/#comment-23511 Thanks Dario for the kind words. I notice that you've got just under 200 'taggings' for this blog at del.icio.us. This number is about twice the number where most sites I've investigated begin to level out. Looking at your graph above, I see the same trend (at about 100, you start to show some more stability). I bring this up because your observation about the 'gtd' tag dropping from 2nd to 6th is more a function of it being early in your tagging history when 'gtd' was ranked 2nd. It may have been more an artifact of when the blog first began getting bookmarked. I'm working on a newer bit of code that will allow a sliding window (to better investigate these short-term activities around certain tags). Please let me know if you have any suggestions or ideas around what else can be put into this tool. It's remained as dormant as it has, because it scratched its itch pretty well pretty early. Again, thanks! Terrell http://cloudalicio.us Thanks Dario for the kind words.

As I work with academical writing methods, there is a seasonal fluctuation of interests and also postings. For instance, as in Brazil we are at the moment in the taxes period, tributarian law articles are much more searched, and also written. I tend to focus my article production in what is contemporary, getting some traffic that is increasing with the months. Your post, more than introduce this metrics of Cloudalicious, made me think about my personal production. I also note a variability about the keywords of my blogs.
