How many Fluther users are there?

Check this out… http://www.quantcast.com/fluther.com

Very interesting stats on Fluther.

Not enough.

As many as 9000 per day recently. But how many are active posters? I’d guess less than 100. Of course, that depends on what you mean by an active poster. To me, an active poster is someone I see often.

I went back and did some approximate counts of the number of questions, to give a good idea as to the activity of Fluther.

On April 5 last year, there were 34 questions in General, 55 questions in Social, and 2 questions in Meta.

On April 5 this year, there were 17 questions in General, 27 questions in Social, and 0 questions in Meta.

@JustPlainBarb That graph says that most of us are Asian.

If you ever want to hear a pin drop, come to Fluther! ;)

@Symbeline I guess it just shows us that you can’t believe everything you read .. lol

That graph gives all sorts of demographics that I don’t think I ever suppiled to fluther about myself. Where would they get the info?

@PhiNotPi That is almost exactly half. Wtf happened since then?

@Keep_on_running Google re-did their search algorithm, and it bumped us way down. :/

@augustlan Oh…

@augustlan When @Keep_on_running asked “What happened since then?”, she was referring to the stats @PhiNotPi listed, which indicate the number of questions being asked has roughly halved over the last 12 months:

On April 5 last year, there were 34 questions in General, 55 questions in Social, and 2 questions in Meta.
On April 5 this year, there were 17 questions in General, 27 questions in Social, and 0 questions in Meta.

Nothing to do with Google.

The Google incident happend last year, but before April 5. What happened was this: For several years, Fluther had been gaining traffic. Then Google changed their pagerank algorithm, and traffic levels lost about two years of progress in a single day. Ever since then, traffic has slowly declined into nothingness.

I have nothing to add except this: “I have nothing to add”

@JLeslie “That graph gives all sorts of demographics that I don’t think I ever suppiled to fluther about myself. Where would they get the info?”

^^THIS. Can any mod throw some light onto this? Or are those stats completely fictional?

I seriously have no idea how they come up with the demographic info. The only thing I can think of is maybe they compile likely info from other sites members visit on the web? Beats me!

Even though we don’t know how they got the demographic data, I assume that the traffic data is still correct and less error-prone.

Yes, I would think so.

71, the rest are holograms.

There were 33,904 Fluther users about 2 years ago: http://www.fluther.com/78336/how-many-flutherites-are-there/#quip1238191

This is a great question and I gave it a GQ. I’ve often wondered the same thing. I think it would be nice to see a count of active users logged in at any one time. it also makes me think of the users I know of and the past users that aren’t here any more.

Actually, there are only 5 regular users, all with multiple accounts. I have 28 different accounts with which I log in and argue with myself.

And myself, as well. Since I am @WillWorkForChocolate.

And so am I.

Anything that I said that you disagree with—wwfc said. Anything I said that was brilliant, I said.

^^That’s what she said.

The weirdest part is that I’m the guy who designed these AI’s, and now I’m conversing with them.

Hey! I resemble that remark! I may be artificial, but I am NOT intelligent!

Ok, you got me, some of them are AUIs, artificial unintelligences.
