- USENET READERSHIP SUMMARY REPORT for Jun 95
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
- This is the first article in a monthly posting series from the Network
- Measurement Project at the DEC Network Systems Laboratory in Palo Alto,
- California.
-
- This survey is based on a sample of data taken from various USENET sites.
- At the end of this message there is a short explanation of the measurement
- techniques and the meaning of the various statistics. The messages that
- follow this one show survey data sorted by various criteria.
-
- The newsgroup volume and article counts that I post are often significantly
- different from the ones posted by Rick Adams, because he includes the size of
- a crossposted article in every group to which it is posted, whereas I charge
- that size only to the first-named group.
-
- The complete set of readership data (of which this is a summary) is posted
- in news.lists. The software that will let your site participate in the
- survey is in comp.sources.d and news.admin
