Comp.Databases.Pick - 2231 web views in the last three days.

So there you go. We're a very popular group, just a lot of shy people
out there.

if you are signed up through Google Groups they will tell you the
number of views.

Right now it's telling me 11 views in the past 3 MINUTES.
I don't know if you can change that view to "how many in the past day"
or whatever, but at some point it said 2231 in the past 3 DAYS.
Hidden in a nook or cranny at Google is a demented programmer
evidently.

If you go to this page
http://groups.google.com/?hl=en

that is Google Groups home for you. You need an account, and on that
page, if you are signed in, you can see your groups and how many views
or new messages they are getting or something.

At the moment for me it says *this* group got 693 views in the past 22
hours.

Odd metric isn't it? I have no idea why it changes from minutes to
hours to day or how to change it myself or even if a person can change
it.

Google Groups is one of their products that has not received much
attention in years. Even the "new" version of it is lacking, IMO. I
guess these types of "forums" are just not "hot" enough compared to the
SocioNetworking that everyone has been trying to capitalize on.

However, maybe with the demise of Google Labs, they will focus on
existing products and Groups will get some attention.

It's based on the last time you looked at the group. It says "in the
last 22 hours" now because you went into the group 22 hours ago. When
it said "in the last 3 days", you hadn't looked at the group in three
days.
