| Statistics to get you talking |
In order to learn more about the dynamics of web-based communities, I have generated these sets of statistics which help to illustrate how these communities change over time.
Alertbox Analysis - updated
24 hours after a new article appears (every two weeks)
Jakob Nielsen's Alertbox column has been around since 1995 and a new
alertbox article is added every two weeks.
While it doesn't have two way discussions, it is seen as an authoritative
usability resource and is referenced and discussed by many other sites.
This analysis of the Alertbox articles looks at the changes in the outward
links as well as anlaysing the backlinks to each article.
