Some Thoughts
I posted this without really looking at the list, but now that I look, a couple things come to mind.
First, half of the most read stories were LISNews originals. Considering we posted thousands of stories and only a small handful were originals, I think that that’s a great number. I’m glad what we write is being read.
#3 most read stuck out for me, why the heck would that be so popular? It’s near the top of search results for people looking for the words to that song for some reason.
As for the “Most commented on stories from 2007″… you people are sure love to fight.
I’m not 100% sure the numbers are exactly right. The conversion from Slashcode to Drupal could very well have messed things up, but it should be close enough.
