Slashdot Mirror

Yahoo is catching the meme just as it peaks.
RSS growth will peak and flatten in 2006, as will blog growth.

It may continue upward for awhile longer, but the rate of growth is slowing.

I ran this comparison a couple of months ago.
It sure looks like there's still a controversy going on.

Is it Microsoft that is evil?

Or is it Bill Gates?

CC License meme is growing rapidly.
Looks to me like it has a solid year of growth ahead.

The slowing growth rate showed up in dejanews.com almost 18 months ago.

Fair warning... here it comes!

What makes it weird is the graphs applied to other companies... specially check the last one... :)

Google Evil Index...
a graphic description -

The bandwidth isn't going to matter much.

The blog wave is close to an inflection point,
probably within six to twelve months...
which means that total bandwidth will probably
top out at about TWICE the current rate.

http://www.realmeme.com/Main/miner/preinflection/b logDejanews.png

I suspect that even now, many blogs are
starved for readership as new blogs come online
and steal mental bandwidth.

Perhaps.

Firmware devices still seem to be in an uptrend, but not by much.

Google's dejanews database is a goldmine of information if you extract it properly. One problem with trend-tracking is getting back-dated data to help confirm that a trend is really in place.

I can get backfill data from dejanews, but a more profitable solution is to catch the trend early. heoretically, you could do that from a good sample of RSS feeds by doing frequency counts on words and phrases.

I spent some time on an RSS trend tracker, but there are several technical and statistical issues in pinning down thresholds, maintaining original relationships, etc.

The rise in AJAX is almost solely due to the recent AdaptivePath article. I'm not sure it's a major trend.

However, Ruby on Rails is clearly rising,
moving steadily upward for over a year. Thanks to a reader for bringing this to my attention.

It's not surprising that Google is using a Creative Commons license. The meme has been steadily gaining strength for over a year.

Damn Slashdot and their URL gimmickry!

The rate of growth in python exceeds the other major scripting languages.

http://www.realmeme.com/miner/java.php?startup=/mi ner/java/scriptinglanguagesDejanews.png

Python is the only one that has a clear increase in rate of change.

It's not surprising that Comdex has been cancelled twice. History shows that all technology revolutions peak and then mature.

Comdex meme shows a clear downward trend since the 2000 market crash.

I use Creative Commons code on my website (not a blog)

And check out the accelerating rate of growth for Creative Commons meme.
