Skype Stats







Skype Stats

Skype Stats 12/19/2004 03:12 PM

An update on Skype's P2P voice over IP service, courtesy of Jeff Clavier:


* 13M+ users registered
* 1M+ simultaneous users reached for the first time a couple of weeks ago
* 2,384,686,217 minutes served, as I type this - i.e almost 2.4 billion minutes. Just to put things in perspective: Vonage has 170,000 customers and passed the billion minutes mark sometime in 2004
* 295,000 users have signed for SkypeOut (Skype has a goal of 5% conversion from the free service to SkypeOut)

If you haven't tried Skype, you should. The sound quality is surprisingly good, even though it uses peer-to-peer connections over the public Internet. They just announced availability of the Skype API, which will let developers build new applications and functionality on top of the platform.

I was originally dismissive of Skype, because it was free, private, and software-only. But I now thing it's a bigger deal than people realize. It's an example of how VOIP is changing the game in telecom, not just allowing in new competitors.

wb1001b.jpg imageJapan's WellTone has a new USB Skype handset coming out which may or may not contain a version of Skype in its internal 64MB of memory. The uncertainty lies in how the company is yet to receive permission from Skype to include their software. Other than that, the "Skype USB Handyphone (WB-2001)" is your standard for a USB handset.

Stats4schools, developed by the United Kingdom's Office of National Statistics, "is about helping teachers and pupils to get more from statistics." The project has posted here datasets collected by the Office for National Statistics as part of the Omnibus survey and made them available for students to download free of charge. Teachers will also find lesson plans, worksheets and datasets that can be used in their classrooms. The lesson ideas are organized by topics and involve using statistics to answer questions such as, "Do girls pull their weight more than boys at home?" and "Are you at risk from the sun?" Additional resources on teaching statistics are available from the Links section of the website.

Today's fun stats


Today's fun stats 03/14/2005 06:11 PM

Some fun facts from the two keynotes I attended at the Wharton Technology Conference today: Lou D'Ambrosio of Avaya and Jeff Weiner of Yahoo!

  • In 1998, the average Web search query was 1.2 words long; in 2004 was twice as long (2.5 words). Weiner (who heads up the search business at Yahoo!) made an insightful connection between this stat and the Long Tail phenomenon. Longer queries means more permutations. More permutations means more unique searches. More unique searches means a longer tail in the distirbution of queries, which enables business models (sponsored search and micro-targeted advertising) that focus on that side of the curve.
  • Yahoo!'s Launch service has three billion recommendations about music from its users. I wonder how many recommendations Amazon.com has on its site? Must be a biiiiiiig number
  • There were 17 million business voice over IP lines deoployed in 2004. In 2005, that is expected to be 24.6 million, which for the first time will exceed new TDM (traditional telephone) lines deployed. In other words, this year is the inflection point for VOIP in business.

A few boring Barbelith stats... 04/24/2004 05:03 AM

A few interesting Barbelith (temporarily closed for new members) stats which I compiled the other day whlie trying to avoid work. In the last month there have been 14846 undeleted posts on the site, made by around 900 unique user names. That makes around 480 new posts each day, with each user posting around 0.5 times per day or 16 posts a month. After a (hopefully) brief period of reworking, the site will be open again and I hope to see all you guys there.

Fun With Stats: How To Turn Less Than
Half Into 95%
03/31/2005 02:52 PM
You have to hand it to the folks who put out research reports. They certainly know how to pick up stats that aren't particularly interesting and twist them into suggesting something that simply isn't true. While the Globe And Mail got this story right, others who are following up on it, are picking up on exactly what the study's publishers wanted them to focus on. Slashdot has announced that 95% of IT projects are not delivered on time -- which sounds a little alarming (though, probably not if you work in technology, where you might have guessed such a number). Of course, that's not what the actual story says at all. In fact, the study claims that less than half of IT projects run late. It's not Slashdot's fault, necessarily (though, it is made clear in the article), as it appears this is exactly what the study's backers wanted people to pick up on. The real stat is that 95% of IT groups claim that they don't complete all projects on time. In other words, if an IT group has 100 projects to work on this year, and they deliver 99 of them on time, but one comes in late, they fall into that 95% category. If anything is surprising about that number, it's that it's not 100%. However, by positioning the study with the 95% number, it sounds a lot more interesting than claiming less than half of all IT projects run over their expected delivery date.

imageInformation about Canon's new DSLR is creeping out and it looks like a doozy, with a 16 to 17-megapixel sensor and a built-in SD and CF card slots, among other things. So yeah, that's huge - like 4992 x 3328 pixels in RAW mode huge. This site has a scan of the EOS-1DSMK2's first brochure with most of the critical information, albeit in a giant un-robot-translatable Japanese JPEG.

I'll post a translated excerpt after the jump. (Thanks, Cristopher!)
