Your Livejournal Analysis

Your Livejournal's Age

According to the information you provided, your Livejournal was created on 2000-08-20, meaning that your journal has been around for 873 days. What does this mean?

You are something of a dinosaur on Livejournal, having been around for over 2 years. You might even have one of those early adopter accounts. You probably joined Livejournal long before most of your friends, long before it was as popular as it was today. As a result, you are something of an icon in the community, and more than likely well known. Don't let it get to your head, or are you already bashing those poor newbies?

{Maybe ... but the lj laid dormant for over a year before I picked up posting again. Should I re-run it with my re-start date?}

Your Livejournal Friends

Now let's talk about your friends list. You indicated that you have 91 LJ friends.
You have something of a large friends list, and let's be honest, you probably don't really read them all, do you? Okay, so your journal has been around, it's to be expected that you have a fairly large friends list. Some of these people might have been names you added at some point in the past, but you can't really remember why. A good portion of these journals are probably from people you only know in passing, and you don't really consider them friends as much as friendly folks.

You also have been listed as a friend by 68 users.
You have quite a few people watching your list, and have become pretty popular. You are well established in the time you've had your journal, and now it looks like you've established yourself pretty well. Probably got around in a few of them Livejournal groups, probably have a lot of addbacks from your own friends list. How many of these people really know you, however?

Finally in this category, you have a friends to friends-of ratio of 1.3382352941176.
This is a relatively high ratio, meaning you add quite a few more people than have added you to their friends list. This may be a sign that you tend to add people fairly randomly to your list, although there is also a good chance that you simply do not advertise your own journal much, and don't expect too many people to be adding you back.

Your Posting Habits

You have indicated that to date, you have made 308 entries into your Livejournal. This gives us an average post rate of 0.35280641466208 posts per day.
This indicates that you update your journal at least once a week, sometimes twice or even three times. You probably include weekly or bi-weekly updates, and the occasional post in thrown in as a kind of rant of sorts. You like to summarize what's going on in your life without going into too many minute details and boring yourself, or your friends.

Your Commenting Habits

According to your information, you have posted 478 comments and have recieved 427 of them over the lifetime of your journal. Let's see what this information can mean.

First of all, this indicates that you have been getting an average of 1.3863636363636 comments for every Livejournal entry that you make.
You can expect roughly one comment per post, sometimes more, although chances are you have entries every now and then that spark discussion, with gaps of no-comments in between. You make a fairly decent effort to incite commenting on your posts, and try to keep your journal fresh and interesting enough that people feel the need to respond to what you have to say.

A more fair measure of how many comments you get might be your average number of comments per post per friend, which is 0.015234765234765. This may seem low to you, especially if you have lots of friends.

The final statistic is the ratio of your comments to comments you get. Your ratio is 1.1194379391101. The higher the ratio, the more talkative you are compared to your friends, comment-wise.

That's it for now! Perhaps there was something insightful in this analysis, and perhaps you learned absolutely nothing. Feel free to post your results on your own Livejournal, and invite your friends to take the Livejournal Analysis today!

LJ has so many interesting things to offer that someone somewhere cooked up. Where would we all be if LJ closed down? Man, I don't want to think about that. I'm curious...do you keep a paper journal as well as this one? -- Sky

I don't keep a paper journal, although I probably could/should. I've tried it, but ended up giving up after a few entries. Perhaps I like this format because it's interactive - and I'm a bit of an attention whore at times.
