Comparing Infobitt at present to my daily goals

[Larry Sanger]

Question: is the following "edition evaluation" from me interesting and motivational or more likely to make you not want to participate?

How does the current Infobitt stack up against the daily goals? See http://www.infobitt.com/faq and look at "What are Infobitt's daily goals?" I thought I'd explain...just not on the bigger list.

1. All the news is under 12 hours old. Yay! Grade: A

2. Ouch. Six of 10 bitts are one-fact bitts. Ugh. No two-dot bitts; but one four-dot bitt, so there's that. Grade: F

3. Not so good. Lawmakers reached agreement on a spending bill, avoiding a government shutdown; that's big news. We don't cover it. A global climate agreement is in the offing. We don't cover it. Duke & Duchess in NYC; do we cover that? Well, it's not that big. OK, we don't cover two really big stories. That's not terrible at this stage. Grade: B-

4. My Facebook friends...no idea, haven't been paying attention. Grade: n/a

5. Ouch. Some not-so-important news is in fact in the #1 place. Of course, that's just my opinion. But seriously, Supten and Sorin, how is this more important than the "torture report" or the 4.5% capital surcharge? (Terrence or someone should add facts that explain why the latter is actually important, which it is.) But maybe I'm just wrong. I do have some respect for the crowd here. Grade: C-

6. Pretty good. I'd say we don't have clickbait or fluff in our Top Stories. Grade: A

Overall grade: B-

Not too shabby for December! Well done, all!

Is this community still functional, or have they moved else where? I thought there might have been a surge of traffic to this google group after the Reddit post and whatnot, but it looks pretty empty.

Sure, we're functional, but have a look at the history. Only 11 total posts. We're a very small community. Specific discussion about specific stories happens on the bitts themselves via Disqus. There's a lot of that, usually. Not tonight, though. You didn't mention whether you tried to visit infobitt.com, but please be patient. It's straining under the load of all the traffic presumably driven by Reddit today.

If you want to get a feel for the community dynamics, engage at infobitt.com on specific stories. Once the site starts responding again.

Let me add that this group is active in the sense that if anybody wants to discuss things, there are enough people here to discuss them. :-) And we will!
