How is this different from Twitter now? You follow users in your feed and can search tags - thats Twitter.

Well I see one major difference:

    average comment length: last 5 comments: 308.2 last 50 comments: 355.9 last 200 comments: 356.0

350+ per comment vs 140 characters.

mk are these words or characters? I believe they are words.

They are actually characters. Although there are a lot of long comments, short replies really bring the average down. Maybe I should include the range.

Mean and Median? It'll be like Hubski stats class!

Ooh, don't forget the mode!

Well, the character length is almost like a continuous variable. Mode wouldn't be that descriptive, because the probability of a lot of comments having the exact same length is low. But, I do love the alliteration, so why not?

But it's the mode!

I know there are short replies but we also have people who wrote books in heir comments. Hmm
