If this pattern continues, clearly emo_snal shall takeover the blogosphere this upcoming year.
emosnail had it's highest ratio of comments per entry in the June 2004 - June 2005 year, with 9.55, and has been on the decline ever since.
My theory is that emosnail was oriented toward people I knew in real life, and in the years since we've graduated college they've all drifted away from lj, started procrastinating with the newer forms of media such as twitbook, and/or hate me. emo_snal however came to be boldly oriented entirely at the anonymous depths of the blogosphere, and this seems to be a much more viable plan.

July 2007 - Blogological Statistics IV - Indroducing the control group! Irked that my previous sample group was based on 25 ljs I had specifically chosen to look at, I used the random lj finder to rustle up 20 truly random ljs for a more representative look at the state of the blogosphere.
