Acts of Volition in 2002: A statistical review

2002 saw Acts of Volition slip from being a multi-author weblog to a paltry 1-1/2 author weblog. While this may have cut the volume of posts, the participation of readers has been great. Writing for AoV has started to feel less like traditional writing and more like having a conversation with the readers.

This chart shows the relationship between aov posts and readers replies over 2002 (note – the chart is a little misleading – the two lines are charted on separate scales).

Here is Acts of Volition in 2002 in numbers:

  1. I nominate Dan Burka as the next member of AOV. I met him in my English class and he seems to be a smart cookie.

    Dan’s the man I want to see in 03!
