DebConf mugshots view statistics

Published 2010-01-09 in sections English, Debian.

In a comment to my previous blog post, I linked to the DebConf photo gallery page with the DebConf8 mugshots. Felix Brandt, a friend of mine, noticed the per-picture view statistics there and plotted them, differentiating between male and female. He finds that the number of views on an image gives a fairly good indication of the sex (or gender?) of the person in question:

The most notable exception is the image of bubulle. He does not even look feminine. Maybe it’s because he’s like a mother to us Debianers, always kind and always helpful? :-)

This observation fits my experience when I created a top-100-statistic of individual picture page views of my personal gallery: I got a collection of pretty much all pictures of girls in bikinis, lying at some beach, across the various pages and years, and hardly any other picture. I won’t post these top-100 here, as I don’t want to additionally increase the effect...

Grrrr..:-)



Even funnier, image Nr 63, viewed 148 times is a woman. An another abnormal "male" point is H0lger whose picture features a pirate flag.



You also forgot to mention, that yourself are scoring 140, Joachim.

Very well spotted. Might it be my hair?

Any idea what is the cause for the large drop in views after the 90th image?

See the original post, http://www.felixbrandt.de/blog/index.php?/archives/93-Unconventional-Image-Classification.html:



‚NB: The later pictures (>90) were posted a week after the others, that would explain the gap.‘
