Comment on Social Actions Analytics by Chris Larson

“The real puzzling thing is the big spike around 205 days. What’s that all about?”

Does that track with either launch date or testing phase? I’ve seen some pretty wacky statistics because someone forgot about the already-populated database…

And launch-date statistics are more about enthuusiastic (or just curious) users checking out everything. To tie that in to our conversation, what do you reckon the stats show regarding date and number of blips on Google Wave?

ASIDE: Seriously, Google, blips? Way to drop the terminological ball! They’re quite obviously wavelets:

“Loosely speaking, a wavelet is a wave-like oscillation with an amplitude that starts out at zero, increases, and then decreases back to zero. It can typically be visualized as a “brief oscillation” like one might see recorded by a seismograph or heart monitor. Generally, wavelets are purposefully crafted to have specific properties that make them useful for signal processing. Wavelets can be combined, using a “shift, multiply and sum” technique called convolution, with portions of an unknown signal to extract information from the unknown signal.”

Just left this comment on your My Social Actions cross-post. Am honestly geeky-excited to see these numbers! You rock

Christine

Ehren, I cannot tell you how thrilled I am that you’ve taken the time to crunch the numbers and share some initial take-aways and questions. You’re right, Social Actions could have run these but our whole model rests on inspiring people (and making it technically easy for them) to do just that and more.

The simple averages in that first set of bullet points is really interesting — first two numbers higher than I expected, and the third number lower. I wonder how they would look parsed out for each platform and how people would use that information, too.

And I actually like the fact that the long tail of actions is there in the “How recently created” table. Will be interesting over time to see that shorten or not, as an indicator of participating platforms making that change in the data they have (or not).

Here’s to much much more analysis in the days, weeks, months ahead, and to the robust list of questions that the data can help address –
