To be honest, I don't know why I'm sharing this with you. I was just poking through my email, and noticed that I read a lot of mail. In fact, my email growth has been exponential over the past 6 years. It's fair to say that I'm addicted. But it's not just email; instant messaging and RSS also occupy my attention a great amount. Maybe I need an intervention. At any event, here are some statistics that may, or may not surprise you:
- I currently have 54,675 email messages in my Gmail account total.
- According to GMail, "You are currently using 2177 MB (28%) of your 7532 MB."
- I have 164 filters sending mail to 111 labels.
- I have had this account since June 25, 2004.
- In the first 3 years, I had amassed (sent and received) a total of about 20,000 emails.
- In the last 3 years, I have since amassed about an additional 35,000 emails.
- I have 1,879 separate chat logs since Google Talk released and started logging the chats.
- I'm following 56 people in Buzz.
Instant Messaging
- I am currently in 26 active IRC channels with Irssi.
- I am currently connected to 4 separate IRC networks
- I have been connected to IRC 24/7 since February 25, 2006
- At one point, I was in 81 IRC channels across 7 separate networks (according to my logs).
- My IRC logs occupy 239MB of disk space uncompressed.
- I have sent 6,572 "dents" to microblogging service Identi.ca
- Of which I am a member of 88 groups (honest coincidence).
- Further, I'm following 193 accounts.
- I'm also on Twitter following 124 users and have produced 1,602 "tweets".
- I have 3 IM accounts: Facebook, Google Talk and a local XMPP instance, each for various reasons, all of which I am connected to 24/7.
RSS
- Since June 17, 2006 I have read a total of 207,620 items, reading 99%.
- From my 143 subscriptions, over the last 30 days I read 8,767 items, clicked 106 items, starred 1 items, shared 274 items, and emailed 9 items.
- My subscriptions are categorized into 34 tags.
- I share an average of 9.1 items per day.
- I am following 56 people in Google Reader (synchronized with Google Buzz apparently).
People complain about television saying there's "nothing on". When I'm all caught up with my email, IM and RSS, I feel the same way about the Internet.

This was great. Loved reading every stat. Your way ahead of me in im/irc, but in e-mail and rss we are pretty close to the same numbers.
Interesting. Your blog reports me as on safari. I'm really on Android 1.6.
Hmmm.... I have moved my mailing-list subscriptions to gmane + gnus. Does wonders to email =)
Only 60k RSS for me =)
What do you mean you've moved your mailing list subscriptions to gmane? I know what gnus is (I prefer mutt), but gmane is just a mail archive. Do you subscribe to the RSS feed rather than mail delivery?

From your 365 subscriptions, over the last 30 days you read 9,232 items, clicked 166 items, starred 14 items, shared 1,279 items, and emailed 1 items.
Since October 20, 2006 you have read a total of 300,000+ items.
Cant say how much mail i've got, disk is unplugged (SSD has its limitations), but onc i've reached 80GBs of mail archive.
Since i moved to SSD, i unsubbed and deleted (after carefully archiving) pretty much all mailinglist i was in and didnt even bother to read anymore.
Recently i purged my twitter account, reducing to 1/3 of the follower list
Since I have an android (actually two) i'm always connected
