And that is my point about an app. I think if BMC built a mobile communities app and had that available to the community, there might have been a lot more hits than just the high teens.. Not everyone hitting the article from the app might have actually read the whole article, but at least there would probably be more hits.. There is no way of knowing for sure if all the 19 that actually hit that article actually did read the whole thing anyway unless they responded to it. If I were to sport a guess, maybe only 40 to 50% of users opening any web page read the significant part of a web page anyways before their attention goes else where on another tab on their browser or another link.
On a messaging system however, I would assume that a higher percentage of users hitting that message would actually read a significant part of that message before discarding it if they do not wish to reply to it. I may have a somewhat negative view of the communities but I see it more like Facebook. I created an account just because my peers would have liked me to be on it. But I very rarely ever actively use it unless someone specifically sends me a message or somehow something actually did manage to catch my attention there.. Email however feels a lot more personal to me so I tend to respond to emails anyone sends me even though it's a 20+ year old system.. That apart from the ability to access it when offline is my pro stand for email rather than a web community.

Hi, 24 hours since the original post to ARSList. 19 pages views referred via ARSList and 16 from BMC Communities. But this is a 30 day old post from Communities and it has a total of 211 referrals during these 30 days. I got one personal email regarding this out of ARSList and no public response. On communities we have 44 comments, but I note that 95% of these were made by the usual suspects (LJ Longwing, Jason Miller, Matthieu Laurenceau, Rick Westbrock and myself). These people are all quite active on ARSList as well, and if the post started here we might have received a lively interaction here instead. All in all I think that BMC Communities has some great features for interacting and pinging friends that you think may have something to add to a conversation. The total volume of content in BMC Communities is too great to read, but it has features to filter and get notification emails.
