Lefsetz and Gioia have deep music backgrounds, but I often find that their writing about other things often resonates with me far more than the people that should be pointing things like this out.

Thoughts
Numbers 1, 2 and 3 are respectively the 2nd, 3rd and 4th posts in the series, so not surprised.
I am surprised at the 26th post coming as high as 4th, after all, It only had 5 days to get there.
By the time you get down to Number 5 - well, it’s a topic that resonates, and had a full half month to ‘move on up’, so once again, no real surprise.
I will run the numbers again next month, for February - and again for January - and will also provide a ‘year to date’. Be interesting to see the comparisons. (BTW, I am specifically running the data between specific dates - in this case for example Jan 1 to Jan 31 - not just ‘last month’.)
I am also interested to see if this posts gives a jump on these particular posts, so I will check the data in 7 days.
That’s all for now - except to say, my many thanks to 🔗 Vincent who wrote and maintains the 🔗 tinylytics app that in turn produces the data I need to write this email. Couldn’t do without it.
