Me too! But is that more or less? How is that relative to the number of total comments we posted? This guy wants to dig into the stats, well I'm a stats man and am handy with a suggestion, though hopefully not heavy-handed ;p
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
good morning sir @ecoinstant! I don't know what is more or less but I'm so thankful that you guys who are analysts and numbers guys are here to figure things out and do the heavy mental lifting, I'm just having fun talking to people!
I have answered questions which @crypto-econom1st asked me but I don't have any stats so my answers probably didn't help him. I guess I need to start writing everything down and keep track of my Steemit hours but that sounds a little too much like work! lol. God bless!
God Bless you Jonboy! I'm finding threads that I have forgotten about in my reply feed.
Keeping track of hours does sound like it would turn a hobby into a job! Of course everyone wants to know, but what I am wondering and testing is how many hours it will take to beat you!
I bet you are a fast typer, with a comfortable chair. That's how I envision it at least.
haha! I keep telling everyone how to beat me! ha! that's so funny because there are so many things working against me, like my in and out internet connection, my very slow typing ability, I don't have an office chair just an uncomfortable metal folding chair which the back just fell out of it a couple days ago,
plus I take a long time to put any thoughts together and when i do they don't flow well because I'm not a writer, blogger or author and it doesn't flow for me.lol!
I tell people that if they have a good connection, are a fast typist and have alot of contacts on here or friends then they can beat me fairly easy.
I even tell them that if they need me to I will ask them tons of questions, forcing them to write long comments, or if they are running behind I'll stay up all night on Fri or Sat to help them build their CL!
I have no secrets, I'm about as mediocre as you can get! unfortunately, I wish I was this big writer or something.
I must believe you are getting better! I, over the last year, have noticed a marked improvement in my writing, photography, commenting and confidence - this I believe is all from interacting here on Steem!
You now are training your competition, but it is so enjoyable to chat with people, like minds, interested, intriguing, from different places, doing different but sometimes similar things.
I will have a comfy chair the week that I achieve victory, of that I am working towards!
yes sir I think I'm improving in most areas so I will try and work on typing the most as a priority as that will yield the biggest dividends.
it is very good for Steemit that I train my competition is it not?
But what pray tell, is this "victory" which you will achieve sir?
Well, a high score in the league. A 1052+ comment week with more than a 59000 total score, or something like that.
Yes, we are all practicing for when steem becomes the backbone of government programs and insurance companies, when crowdfunding and live streaming and photosharing done off of steem becomes a weird occurance.
We are the leaders of a win-win-win world!
howdy again sir ecoinstant! that first sentence...lol! ok..I thought you were talking about writing a book or writing a manual about growing coffee or something silly me.
well you are already moving up in positions, you already know my weaknesses, I already told all my secrets which aren't secrets, and I'll help you anyway that I can even if it takes being up all night.
That second sentence..do you really believe steem can get to the point where it can be all that? I don't understand that last part though.."weird occurrence" that doesn't fit with the first part for me.
If you really want to help your competitors you should stop these long conversations ππ©
Just kidding of course. But if you have 5-10 of these conversations per week that also helps a bit on your total interactions.
5 or 10 a week? I do that in a morning! lol!
Should Steemit not be based on honesty and openness?
If I can help my competitors increase in engagement won't that be a good thing for all of us or am I misunderstanding the situation?
Even if you wouldn't help your competitors, Steemit is indeed fully open. So everyone can figure it out their selves. So I believe helping is a good thing as it's social and kind. And it just speeds up things. And sometimes you learn something from the other person.
Absolutely. I don't have any secrets, it's all in fun and I will help anyone I can.
hey @ecoinstant! Welcome to the engagement league (or party, whichever you prefer). At least I think you're newer. It's hard to tell who's been around and who's not sometimes.
I think the idea here is to measure engagement, of which, the sheer number of comments is only part of the equation. If it were just about the number of comments, then there wouldn't be a reason for the rest. That's why the second level replies and the character length columns exist. So, Asher is wondering if there are more ways to measure engagement that will give us all a better sense of what we're actually doing and accomplishing.
He used to have a column for CE, which I can't remember right now the exact term, but it had something to do with the amount of comments on other people's posts. It got replaced by CR, or the second level replies. So, now it sounds like he's entertaining the idea of bringing something similar to that back.
I'm new around these parts, just one month since I started paying attention to these tables and just my second week on the board.
I'm thinking something like C/U, or comments per unique user. Just a thought, maybe it doesn't count for anything on the official scores but I'd love to see the data.
Once I get around to it I'd love to dig through the sql dbase with r, maybe one day!
It sounds like abh12345 might be doing something like that. It's late where he is, so I don't expect he's around to confirm, but it sounds like we may end up with an additional column, which means a different results in points, as early as this week.
Great to meet you Glen! I see you too vie for that top spot, and take the cake on comment length ;p
Likewise. It's more like Janton just takes it and I come along for the ride as high as I can get. :)
Yeah, the comment length category is kind of what I'm trying to improve upon, but now I need to do it through the number of comments, too. It's going to be the only way to stay close to him.
I think that's right, and I feel like we are all winners just for trying! I'm riding along with you guys ;)
The bonus steem feels good too!
You're right a few more and shorter comments could help to win the league once again.
I also wonder if these comments at depth level..... 5-10 or something like that, help us better than the first reply at level 2?
Few being relative. My guess is, I need to get closer to 500 comments to have a similar effect on points as he does at 1,000, only because of the difference in CL per comment. Three hundred comments with the corresponding CR obviously is not enough.
re: depth level
I'm not sure what your question is. The more we tack on, obviously, the more it helps us in CR. I don't think Asher has a depth value that gets added. If you're wondering if it helps us connect more with who we're engaging with, I would say yes. If you're wondering if it's a measure of good engagement the farther we go, I would say, in most cases, absolutely.
