MeTa post: Ask.me popular favorites
I'm glad you posted this, because I was going to post asking for a page with favorites from the last 24 hours, not knowing it already existed, thus bringing shame and humiliation upon me and my family.

5 arbitrarily chosen numbers are silent, hmmm.

Any stats on how many MeFi accounts have been signed onto within the last, say, month? 3 months? I think then we can put this into perspective, contacting the relevant authorities if necessary.

Questions requiring technical/specialized knowledge will naturally get fewer responses, because fewer people have the background (or think they have the background) to answer the question. General interest/relationship type stuff will always get more answers, because just about anyone can chime in.

It is chattier than AskMeFi's charter would condone, but I think both questions are entertaining and useful.

So yes, they are chatty, but considering the novelty of the phenomena, I don't have a problem with it.
