One more crippling
bombshell hit the already beleaguered *DB community when IDC confirmed that *DB
market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of
all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states
that *DB has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've
known all along. *DB is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by
failing dead last [samag.com]
in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to
be a Kreskin [amdest.com] to predict *DB's
future. The hand writing is on the wall: *DB faces a bleak future. In fact there won't
be any future at all for *DB because *DB is dying. Things are looking very
bad for *DB. As many of us are already aware, *DB continues to lose market share. Red
ink flows like a river of blood.
FreeDB is the most endangered of them all, having
lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time
FreeDB developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point
more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeDB is dying.
Let's
keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenDB leader Theo states that there
are 7000 users of OpenDB. How many users of NetDB are there? Let's see. The number of
OpenDB versus NetDB posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are
about 7000/5 = 1400 NetDB users. DB/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume
of NetDB posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of DB/OS. A recent article put
FreeDB at about 80 percent of the *DB market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 =
36400 FreeDB users. This is consistent with the number of FreeDB Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeDB went out
of business and was taken over by DBI who sell another troubled OS. Now DBI
is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major
surveys show that *DB has steadily declined in market share. *DB is very sick and
its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *DB is to survive at all it will
be among OS dilettante dabblers. *DB continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle
could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *DB is dead.
It is official; Netcraft confirms: *Mobile Pants are dying.
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered *Mobile Pants community when IDC confirmed that *Mobile Pants market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers.

Therefore there are about 700 users of Mobile Pants/Pants. A recent article put Extra Wide Fit Mobile Pants at about 80 percent of the *Mobile Pants market.

It is official. Netcraft now confirming: Trolling Is Here To
Stay
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Slashdot community
when IDC confirmed that trolling market share has increased yet again, now up to
more than
15 percent of all posts. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which
plainly states
that trolling has gained more market share, this news serves to reinforce
what we've known all
along. Trolling is becoming organized, as fittingly exemplified by firsts posts
in the recent
Troll Admin comprehensive trolling test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict trolling's future. The hand writing is
on the wall: Trolling faces a promising future. In fact the future is so
bright soon
Slashdot will be 100% trolls. Things are
looking very good for trolls. As
many of us are already aware, trolls continues to gain market share. First posts
flow like a
river of blood.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Slashdot leader CmdrTaco states that there are
5000 regular Slashdot posters. How many trolls
are there? Let's see. The number of non trolls versus troll posts on Slashdot is roughly in ratio of 6 to 1. Therefore
there are about 5000/6 = 833 trolls. First posts on Slashdot are about 1/10 of the volume of other
trolls. Therefore there are about 83 regular first post attempters. A recent
article put non first post trolling at about 80 percent of the troll market.
Each troll has roughly 2 accounts for trolling. Therefore there are (833+83)*2 =
1832 troll accounts. This is consistent with the number of trolls posts.
All major surveys show that trolling has steadily increased in market share.
Trolling is very healthy and its long term survival prospects are very good. If
regular posting is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers.
Trolling continues to grow. Nothing short of a miracle could stop it at this
point in time. For all practical purposes, trolling is here to
stay.
