Scratch

Interesting 

I didn't know a lot of that stuff before!

Wow! Very cool! But I have some questions, of course.

1. Why doesn't it use the scratch login system along with posting comments? I think it should seriously be attached to the main scratch website...

2. On this statistic page, I think you should make the colors more different rather than just blue and orange, and you shouldn't use country initials, because I don't know them really.

3. On this statistic page, why doesn't it have a longer amount of time kept track? Did you just recently start recording the information?

4. On this statistic page, why are there all of the bumps on the graph? Are they like, weekends or something?

5. On this statistic page, it's nice to see how many users register each month, but it would be nice to also have a graph of the overall amount of users, projects, remixes, and comments. Also, possibly forum posts  .

6. On this statistic page and this statistic page and this statistic page, the default page is the most recent month (in this case, March 2010), but there's no data, so you see nothing, so this could be confusing to users. You should have the default as the month before the current one.

7. Doesn't this statistic page have the same graph as this statistic page and the home page? Seems to be overdone.

8. As bwog commented on the page, the sixth block on this statistic page has no title. Should be fixed.

9. What order are the blocks placed on this statistic page? It doesn't really say....

10. Doesn't [http://stats.scratch.mit.edu/activitybyage.html]this statistic page[/url] have the same graph as this statistic page? Doesn't really need to be done...

Other than that, great! What did disappoint me though (not about the website or system), was that apparently, the [wait () secs] block is the second most used block on scratch, and the [switch to costume ()] block is the third most used block on scratch. Just proves how there's too many animations on scratch...

I love statistics!

Too many animations? They're still programming... I don't see what's wrong with them. 


Great website!

Great website! 

Not as much really. Not with the programming I do.... I don't use the wait () block, I use a block which is a substitute for wait () frames if there was one: repeat () with nothing in it.

Not as much programming? Animations like these have plenty of programming...


Using a repeat block for delays... that's brilliant! I'll try that someday if I need to. 


And I noticed - the statistics are counting how many projects have the certain block, not how many times the block has been used. So that changes things a bit...

Nice.
Make a HTML widget for websites 

I love it! 

I have always been addicted to survey taking and stats for some reason... 

This is my favorite: http://stats.scratch.mit.edu/blocks.html

I was about to post here the first time I viewed it...

Very nice to see all the things and stats. I was making a Statistics projects half a year ago when halfway I ran out of facts    (kinda like this, don't worry, this is a youtube video with no see-able swear words).

Now I can get working on Scratch again!    Once you finish, 'twould be nice to have a "Stats" section under "About" or a seperate page.

In 2007-04 was when it was featured on all the tech news sites.

That explains it.

I think that was about when my dad found out about it.

Awesome!
