Stats are my Bliss.
So I’ve been back from BlissDom for a week now. Well, it would have been a week had Snowmageddon not messed with my travel schedule.
And it’s been an interesting week. Another blizzard.
No school. (It seems like a month already!)
I love the boys. Really, I do. But it’s time for them to go back to school before they forget how to read.
But I digress.
BlissDom.
I was seriously honored to be a part of the Final Keynote, Women, Technology and Social Community: Connecting with Heart. I got to talk about the history of women in communities online. I had a blast.
I met some amazing women (and a couple men). It was definitely worth the trip. (And the accommodations weren’t bad either!)
Anyway, in true form, I am compelled to put some graphs and charts up to demonstrate the BlissDom social chatter. With more than 27 THOUSAND mentions of BlissDom since November 2, 2009 (OMG), I sure have a lot to chart!
Read on. This is the fun part.
Check out the geography of the social mentions. (I know who that Alaska thumbtack is!)
I love me a good theme cloud! This represents the top mentioned terms in the 27,000 mentions. Hey, where’s my name!? Well, at least Alli is in there.
Sure, there’s a lot happening all over. But the chatter’s on Twitter. Big time.
It should come as no surprise that the bulk of the tweets were….(drumroll please)…during the conference.
Say it ain’t so!
Truthfully, this surprised me. More male than I expected. And I’m wondering if it’s actually correct. When I get past this work deadline, I’m going to drill down and see for myself. Meantime, it’s interesting, n’est pas?
And who can resist seeing who is out there shouting the loudest (or the most at least). I included the top 100 below the chart. I couldn’t help myself. So enjoy. I’m off to finish a super exciting project (seriously, I love my job!).
See y’all online! (I got that y’all thing from Alli. Like it?)

I am so with you on the snow and how the kids can go back to school any day now. Geez. It was great seeing you at BlissDom. I didn’t get the chance to tell you that I think your work is fascinating, and I’d love to learn more!
Feb 14, 2010
Honored to have made one of your graphs Wendy! Feel so loved-especially since I did not tweet for 2 days as laptop broke….
Feb 14, 2010
Ok, I am geeky, and I love stuff like this!! Me, mentioning #blissdom 101 times? Wow. I guess I did have fun!
Feb 14, 2010
Wow. I can’t believe I’m part of a statistic about Blissdom! It was an amazing conference. Thank you for putting this together, I’m sure I’ll pull the information at a later date for a very scientific-type article on the benefits of blogging conferences (or not) LOL.
Feb 15, 2010
Thanks for commenting.
Mary: Great seeing you too! And thanks!
Jennifer: Just imagine if the laptop hadn’t broken. Yikes!
Erica: You’re funny. I agree, this stuff is fun!
Nikki: There are some statistics that it’s okay to be a part of (thinking of PSAs from childhood – don’t become a statistic – ha!) If you do write that article, please send me a link!1

Feb 15, 2010
Just wanted to let you know that your blog is not showing up properly on the BlackBerry Browser. Anyway, I’m now on the RSS feed on my laptop, so thanks!
Feb 15, 2010
I always knew I talked a lot, and now someone has put it in black-and-white.
Feb 15, 2010

I love seeing stats and charts and graphs and numbers like this! I’m a very visual person so it helps me process the data better. And when it’s a subject I’m passionate about, it’s even more fun!
Thanks, Wendy!
