GraphGraph.com Month In Review – 2011-11

Every month we’re going to attempt to do a meta-review of the site, using graphs of course.

Visitors

We had a “soft launch” towards the end of October with a few hits, but we really took off in November, starting with a post about my Halloween Candy experiences this year, which was shared out by Geekadelphia.

Red bars represent days with new posts, and Blue bars are days without new posts.

We thought an interesting stat to look at would be the number of pageviews per visitor.  On days where the diamond is above 1, it represents where on average people clicked on something else within the site beyond just their initial entry page.  The highest day for that was 11/10/2011, when Drew had his post on Scrabble.

All in all, we’re very happy that in our first month we had 737 visits and 1,049 pageviews.  Thank you!

Twitter, Facebook & Google Reader

Right now that chart is pretty barren.  However in future months we’ll see a line chart (with hopefully a lot of growth).

Thanks again to everyone for making this first month a success!

Twitter on 11.11.11

The above video was posted on the official Twitter blog and is an interesting use of geospacial visualization over time.

A few things you can gain from the video:

  • You can see where Twitter has it’s main influence based on where the 1’s are.
  • The initial wave at 11:11AM in the morning sweeps across the whole globe, but the secondary wave at 11:11PM only really makes a splash in North and Central America. My presumption is because on those continents they use the AM/PM designation vs. other nations that use the 24-hour clock.

Hat Tip to @HashTagOnions for the link.
