In celebration of the completion of my last midterm ever, and the onset of spring break, I present to you some new toys from the DS106 Radio Twitterbot…
…Statistics!
Ever curious who the most prolific live broadcasters are? Here are the top ten:
| Broadcast Title | Occurences |
|---|---|
| James Groom’s Broadcast | 155 |
| DJ Downes is in da Office | 117 |
| Exile in New Jersey @mikhailg | 116 |
| DJ Downes | 82 |
| Noise Professor Live! | 63 |
| Noise Professor | 58 |
| @DrGarcia in Motion | 52 |
| Exile in New Jersey @mikhailg — Radio Free Puppi | 37 |
| noiseprofessor | 35 |
| Mikhail Gershovich Live | 20 |
As you can see, we are grouping by the show name, so if you wanted true totals you’d have to add them up by hand. Also, we are counting by number of “songs” broadcasted, so DJs will have a higher count than someone who does an single one-hour broadcast.
The JSON API to pull the stats for yourself is (see this post for an explanation of the start parameter):

What about listener numbers? Here are the last five days:
| Date | Min | Max | Avg | Var | Stddev |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2011-02-21 | 1 | 11 | 4.1812 | 8.3685 | 2.8928 |
| 2011-02-22 | 1 | 6 | 2.0774 | 1.2714 | 1.1276 |
| 2011-02-23 | 1 | 14 | 3.7662 | 5.8209 | 2.4127 |
| 2011-02-24 | 1 | 12 | 2.3407 | 3.4395 | 1.8546 |
| 2011-02-25 | 1 | 14 | 3.2817 | 3.9019 | 1.9753 |
The JSON API to pull the stats for yourself is:
http://ds106radio.galagonwagon.com/listener/day/?start=0
http://ds106radio.galagonwagon.com/listener/hour/?start=0
The goal behind these new APIs, of course, isn’t to promote any sort of competitiveness. Rather, we’ve collected a lot of information with the twitterbot about an unplanned but core aspect of the craziness that is DS106, and it is interesting to see what the data says.
Enjoy!
