10 Most Popular Posts This Week! [2 – 8 Oct 2011]

This week was sombre for anyone who followed technology. Steve Jobs passed away on 5th October. I can only marvel at his impact, as so many young people who are self-employed or starting a business, have been suggesting Steve Jobs as an inspiration for so many years.

Hence it is no surprise that two posts on Steve Jobs, feature among the most popular this week.

I have a question since a few weeks. What is the on Y-axis. Is it number previews for that week or else?

I am surprised people didn’t know that speakasia surveys are lifted from Wikipedia! It’s actually Wikipedia+eHow+some other similar sites. The most intresting part, Speakasia pays 30,000 – 1,50,000 for designing a survey (actually scrapping content).

One more thing it’s not their fault. They have mentioned everything at the footer of the some what called EZine magazine.

@Anand: : Y Axis is actually reactions we get from Facebook, Twitter and G+. Each is given importance differently. We do round up the number and I guess some posts posted towards the end of the week get less value than the ones right at the beginning.

I had never subscribed to the Ezine from SpeakAsia so did not know but I guess this piece of news was confirmation.

Anand October 9, 2011

That’s why i thought, why speakasia is still at number 1!

I have seen some surveys since some of my friend were (we may say this now) a speakasia panelist, so i can confirm this.

What does the numbers in the graph represent.

Aditya Kane October 11, 2011

@Dinesh: It is a total of all the approximate values assinged to sharing on FB, G+ and Twitter. For examply a FB share equals 10 points, G+ 8 and Twitter = 9 points. Idea was to give a clearer view of how the posts from a particular week were popular.
