Maybe the useful XKCD number would be the proportion of comments before and after the first XKCD reference? There’s also the “true XKCD percentage”, which could exceed 1 for highly XKCD’d topics.
- toyg 3y ago> the useful XKCD number would be the proportion of comments before and after the first XKCD reference That would be XKCD velocity, I guess.
- ploum 3y agoVelocity is indeed a nice idea. According to XKCD’s law, the probability to have an xkcd reference is proportional to the number of comments (see https://ploum.net/xkcds-law/index.html https://ploum.net/xkcds-law/index.html ) But adding velocity is really nice. Should think more about it…
