Interesting Comparison

Tuesday November 20, 2007 at 01:06PM

I have posted this <a href="www.ipernity.com/doc/solilos/1003462">photo</a> on F and on I at the exact same time (well, a few seconds in between) on November 19th. Now keep these facts in mind before comparing:

F: member since Sept 9, 2005, 479 members call me a contact.

I: first post on Nov 4th, 2007, the " who calls you a contact" page doesn't seem to work well, but I'll assume the same number as those I have on my contact list: 58

Now compare:

F: 5 views, 2 comments

I: 14 views, 6 comments

Beside the fact that I'm getting a pitiful number of hits on both, what do you think these numbers mean?

a) My photo looks better on I than on F

b) I'm dating <a href="www.ipernity.com/home/lea.ipernity">Lea d'Ipernity</a>

c) I rocks.

Ps: Why don't links work?

Updates:

26/11/07: F: 20/5, I:31/11

3/12/07: F: 30/7, I: 66/12

Ipernity certainly seems to have more 'community' and more creatives too. I am settling in here!

agree with Shi* :-) it's just nicer and warmer here.

I think because iper is smaller its has a more "intimate" community feel, and people move more freely between members, commenting and looking here & there. I know at least I feel much more comfortable being active here than on the Other Site.

However, I might be wrong and your numbers are all caused by combination of a, b & c ;)

I thing F has become a monster and if you are not handing out awards and obligated comments, nothing ever happens. This community is much more personal where people seem to be commenting because they are interested and want to.

Interesting outcome and something I would not have expected :) I have to try to do a similar test :) Those of you who wants Ipernity to have a better outcome remember to comment on all my photos :) Just joking :)

I've tested in the same way, and my result is simple : if you don't fave etc.. on Flickr, you're an anonimous, forgotten one (remark : I don't mind that counter, my intrests are more to see what other do and communicate)
