If I was Queen Bee of this Hive for a Day...

If I was Queen Bee of this Hive...

If I was Queen Bee of this Hive

By and large we are numbers people in this biz. We deal with square footage, amortization schedules, estimates, home prices, and a host of other figures on a daily basis. Then we compound it by blogging about market information, homes listed/sold, mortgage data, etc. making it clear we are eyeball deep in raw data, statistics, and numbers galore.

That is part of the beauty that makes ActiveRain an attractive place to us. We get to share numbers and can track our progress through the ingenious points system the AR brain-trust thought up and set in motion. Brilliant (or just plain sadistic)!

If I want to see where I rank points wise in the AR universe (Lenn Harley leads the pack), determine how popular I am (Jon Washburn still reigns #1. Remember him?), or even with a bit of work want to find out who has the most featured posts (Lenn Harley) or who is top of the heap for number of overall blog posts (Joshua Zargari) I can find that information fairly quickly.

However, if I was queen bee of this hive for a day there is one change I would make! I would add a full-blown ActiveRain statistics page (to satisfy both my numbers and inquisitive nature cravings), sortable by item, that would show me the overall top 100 (pick a number) in any/all of these AR statistics:

  • Posts with the most clicksIf I was Queen Bee of this Hive for a Day!
  • Posts with the most views
  • Posts with the most comments
  • Most short URL clicks
  • Most members invited
  • Most comments received
  • Most comments left
  • Most called shots
  • Most profile views
  • Most profile points
  • Most consecutive days with a blog post
  • Most consecutive days with a feature
  • Most people followed
  • Most groups joined
  • Most referrals made
  • Most posts in draft (just kidding)
  • Most ???

Yes, if I was queen bee of this hive for a day that is definitely what I would do. It's honey in the jar for this numbers cruncher!

If you like chasing or just looking at the ActiveRain statistics, what would you want added to the list?

Anita, you really are a numbers person. Sometimes it's fun to look at the AR stats. I wonder how many people would still be blogging, if it weren't for the point system. Many people say it is not about the points, but is it really?

Yes we are for the most part numbers driven people as well as competitive. And these numbers would feed that as well! Go for it, Queenie!

Very cute post Anita - and obviously quite a few of us agree that you'd make a great Queen of the numbers game.

I hear you, Nina. No doubt some will not be interested in the stats.

Sally: We already can see the most featured posts but we have to scroll through the leaderboard a few pages to make sure Lenn is still leading the pack. A one-click field would be nice.

Beth: I think many would love to see that one added.

10K more points for everyone, Richie. HA.

Michael: I do think the points help keep many folks blogging towards a goal(s).

Gary: It would be great...only time will tell!

Debb: I like to occasionally look at a few of my stats but some items on my list would definitely pique my interest if we could see an AR-wide list.

Good to hear, Kat. Thanks.

Jason: Now there is one I had not thought of. Good addition.

Anita, I meant I didn't really care about other peoples' numbers.  Guess I was tired when I wrote it.

YAY...thanks Kristin. Glad you enjoyed it.

Toni: Tis not a problem. I think that is how many feel while others want as much data as they can get their hands on.

Anita, I think I would look at these stats even though I might not ask for them. I would add the ability to see how long it took to get the number of points acquired.
