Meta Question

Again, specifically, how many active members on Fluther in the last month?

Asked by RealEyesRealizeRealLies (30951points) November 7th, 2010

First, I count 30 Q’s in the General and 40+ in the Social from yesterday. Is Social becoming more popular that General?

But what I’m getting at really, is the thousands of purported users on Fluther only putting out 70+ Q’s per day?

Frostcloud.com has stats at the bottom of the home page. There are currently 213 users online, but only 1 member and 212 guests.

I the past 24hrs, they’ve had 559 users online, being 15 members and 544 guests.

They claim to have had up to 6,027 users online on Feb 18th 2010.

ilovephilosophy.com has these types of stats too.

Would you like to see active Fluther stats like these?

We had them on Wis.dm, and it was fun to see who was there. But Wis.dm never told you how many people were just browsing without logging in.

I’d be curious to know how many were on at any given time, but I wouldn’t want to know who, as I like to lurk sometimes and I don’t want to be seen, then. <looks around in a panic, runs back into the shadows>

That’s what the members/users designation is for. Many “lurkers” like us, will browse, but not be signed in as members.

Like @JilltheTooth, I wouldn’t mind knowing how many people are signed in, just not who. Would that be possible? If I knew there were 25 people online on a Sunday evening, I’d probably stick around a bit longer than if I knew there were only 2.

@RealEyesRealizeRealLies I’ve tried lurking when not signed in, and it’s a pain. You can’t follow any of your activity, and you also have to deal with the adds. It’s a pain in the butt.

I would like to know many are signed in. Not neccessarily who.. but the number.

I asked this not too long ago. Apparently, the main reason Fluther doesn’t show how many members is because of the competition.

I don’t think everyone on fluther asks questions.

That sounds like a good question!

I know the Fluther founders use Google Analytics to track such a thing, but I believe it’s only visible to them.

I bet if you ask nicely they might tell you.

Quantacast has some decent statistics as well. Probably not the most accurate, though, but it should give you a good ballpark.
