Blox update: 4!

Elsewhere I’ve suggested adopting Hersch’s h-index to give a rough measure of the extent to which readers of a blog are drawn into the conversation. In this way, a blog’s blox is the number of posts which have at least that number of comments (including those from the author of the post). A lot of the posts on Really Hard Sums were imported from it’s previous incarnation at Vox, and so I’m only counting comments made since then (18 September 2007).

This blog now has a blox of 4, meaning there are four posts each with at least four comments. That’s quite low, so please surf around, add your comments, and take part in the conversation! I can be quite controversial, apparently
