This is what slow blogging over the holidays looks like. But the holidays are over and I wish all my readers a happy new year 2008!

My Social Activity Index

posted 11:30PM Nov 24, 2007 with tags activity socialnetworks socialsoftware tracking web20 by Lars Trieloff

As my readers know, I am aggregating my social network activity in a sidebar of this weblog. Today I am introducing a new feature: The Social Activity Index.

As a blogger I am blogging with varying frequency. There are times when I am full of ideas, blog and bookmark at lot of things, and there are times when hundreds of unread e-mails stack my inbox and I am unable to post a single bookmark to del.icio.us. Based on the data I already collect for the activity aggregation, I decided to boil down all these activity data into a single number by weighting time, type and frequency of an activity and combining this in a single value.

Before I published this post, my activity index was 35, now directly after publication it will be higher, but unless more activity follows, this number will fall again.

For you this number is an indicator of my activity and creativity. If this number is high, I am likely to be open to new ideas and to respond to any new input very fast, if this number is low, you can expect to wait some time for an answer.

What is a high and what is a low value for the activity index? I do not know yet. Let's monitor it for a while and find out.
