Ask PG: What percentage of active users upmodded "Startup Ideas We'd Like to Fund"?
- pg 18y agoSince you can see how many votes it got, what you're asking in effect is how many active users there are. This is a strange way to phrase that question. What's your definition of active?
- run4yourlives 18y agoNot that I really care, but I'd be curious as to the number of users on this site as well... active would be login < 30 days ago.
- danielrhodes 18y agoFacebook defines an active user as any user who has logged in within the past week, at least for Facebook Apps. This arbitrary definition depends on the application though (e.g. an active user for email would probably mean every day).
- falsestprophet 18y agoI think it would be interesting to see quantitatively how the community was impacted by your list. In retrospect a less strange question would be How many logged in visitors who saw your story upmodded it? But, that is a harder question to answer. I hopped my alternative question would be easier to answer.
- pg 18y agoIn retrospect a less strange question would be How many logged in visitors who saw your story upmodded it? But, that is a harder question to answer. Actually that's one of the easier questions to answer. All I have to do is look at people who voted on items created since that time, which is easy to find because items have sequential ids. The number of users who've voted on an item with an id over 250700 (and who presumbably all saw that link and could have voted it up) is 1348.
- falsestprophet 18y agoThat is a pretty elegant solution. I am almost embarrassed I didn't consider it. To save everyone else the math, 378/1348 = .28.
