Some GaveDev Stats...

Well, I had a school project that required me and 3 team members to create a web crawler and compute various statistics from sites. Naturally, I crawled GameDev.net. Seeing as I'm sitting in history class and have little motivation to listen, I'm gonna post a few of the results. I was mostly surprised by the fact that gamedev has the lowest word to picture ratio. Each page must reference a lot of little images, I'm guessing. Anyway, we crawled 10,910 pages on GameDev.net and 41,363 pages on amazon.com, just to give you an idea of how many pages we crawled. And "the" is the most common word on GameDev.net, appearing 162,578 times across the 10,910 pages.
