Most Commented Seansense of 2008
- Post: Sony HDR-SR11 First Impressions Review with 37 comments.
- Video: A Day in the Life of Anini with 40 comments in various places.
- Photo: Unknown. (Again I don’t have a good way to track this.)
Least Popular Seansense of 2008
- Post: Photography – The First 90 Days with 1 view and 0 comments. (There are others, but this is the only one with original content and more than a couple minutes work put into it.)
- Video: Hellhole Canyon with 188 views and 1 comment.
- Photo: My Pizza Fail utterly failed to impress anybody, even though we thought it was pretty funny.
Sean’s Favorite Seansense of 2008
- Post: Fifty-Five Hours in Israel – This was a fascinating journey and probably my best writing of the year.
- Video: NIN – Discipline (Unofficial Video) – Although this video wasn’t a huge internet sensation (804 views, 13 comments across various places) and gathered mixed reactions from friends and family, I put the most amount of work into it, and it came at the biggest cost; the camcorder’s screen was accidentally scratched while recording and we wasted quite a bit of perfectly good food to get all the shots.
- Photo: This is a tough one, but I think this picture is probably my favorite of the year, just because it makes me happy to look at it.
Sean’s Worst Seansense of 2008
- Post: In retrospect, I feed kind of bad for lambasting smart cars. After all, as far as fashion statements go, they are (were?) a positive trend.
- Video: My Torrey Pines Time Lapse experiment is rather headache inducing to watch. (Not recommended for epileptics.)
- Photo: Again it’s a tough choice, but this one is pretty bad.
Please share your own stats and best (or worst!) post, video, and photo of the year!
Happy 2009 to all, and thanks for reading, watching, and viewing!

This is a great idea! I really liked your post about Israel, your NIN video (I’ll have to share with D as she is a big NIN fan and she hasn’t seen it yet!), and as for pictures, probably the ones from the camping trip, though I may be a bit biased.
In the next few days I think I’ll do something similar as I really like this idea. Though I don’t have a way to track popular images. I like the idea of integrating gallery into WordPress, so I may finally do that one of these days.

Glad you liked it! It was fun and interesting to do. Photos are a bit tricky, as I don’t believe viewing a post with pictures from Gallery in it counts as a “view” to Gallery. The other thing about Gallery is that it seems to be counting when I look at a picture, which is not what I want. And of course no post views are counted from Livejournal, so that messes up the counts a bit. Anyway, it’s interesting! If you need any pointers on Gallery let me know!
