More Identi.ca Stats - The Long Tail
This chart is based on statistics collected from the Identi.ca public feed. It's simply a quick look at the number of notices posted per user between 7/26 and 8/5. (The service came online on 7/1.) There's a pretty typical long tail of usage. A total of 4,459 users have posted at least once. 1,109 of them have only posted once. 2,164 have posted 5 or more times. There's a core group of users who are basically using the service like IRC or group chat. Either using XMPP clients or Twhirl, they're conducting real time conversations in the same way others use IM for 1-to-1 chat. Some might consider it interesting that Evan Prodromou, Identi.ca founder, is hovering at #10 on the list.
