Local Guides Movers & Shakers (November, 2025)

Oh je @AdamGT

Kann nicht zumindest Gemini hilfreich sein?

It did remind me of my old way of doing things @AdamGT and brought a smile to me. I have tracked my top 25 photo views since I started in Connect.
For @Annaelisa I have listed a link to my old post below. Please have a read

Meine Güte @TerryPG, das war aber auch eine Fleißarbeit! Gut, dass @AdamGT diese schönen Statistiken erstellt.

Ich notiere ja nur für die monatlichen Eingaben und das ist ja nicht so viel Arbeit.

That one human must be a superhuman @AdamGT. Thanks for all you do, but is this sustainable?

Thanks for restating this here @TerryPG. I’ve been tracking my top photos and videos above a specified threshold, and I move the threshold upwards from time to time, to avoid the list getting longer. Only today, I decided to limit the list to 100 entries regardless of how it measures up against the threshold. Now I see you only tracked your top 25, so my 100 is still excessive. By the way, I never used pen and paper. I enter the info on the Google equivalent of an Excel spreadsheet.

Keep it up @TerryPG, but I’ve been asking myself “Why?”. Google didn’t create this, so why do we feel obligated to scrutinize and analyze every detail. I like numbers, so I quite easily got drawn into this, but it sometimes feels like an addiction.

Tony I am using Excel and the top 100 now and have been for a while. The top 25 I did track weekly but there is no movement right now . I also track my Million photos and now videos on a monthly basis. That is more than your 100 right now.
And yes I agree I can scrutinize my numbers and sometimes see what Google is looking for… but not lately.

@TerryPG and @tony_b as you both probably know, I semi-automated the tracking of all my photos and I confirm your observation. Daily watching the changes for the all time top 36, as well as the top 36 posted after 02/24, I rarely see any changes.

I cannot says “I see what Google is looking for”, but I enjoy guessing not only what Google is looking for but also what kind of user behavior might have caused certain deltas. At the end I am interested to see the influence of each of my photos might or might not had.

If I added a new place, it is interesting to see the number of views for the edit compared to the most viewed photo. The former is usually a multiple of the latter.

Like you @TerryPG, the image that @Annaelisa posted reminded me of your post and the image you have shared again here of your manual bookkeeping. Nonetheless you’re both nerds :rofl:

It’s great to hear you say that the Leaderboards generate excitement and motivation @palmad1. Seeing contributions like yours in respect of your amazing star video and the amazing star photo by @claude_richard generate a lot of buzz and motivation for us all. You’re up there with the best of us. There’s no stopping you. Congratulations.

:blush: :blush: Thanks @tony_b. As well as the rankings, and the fun and friendly competition side that the Leaderboards bring, it’s their educational and motivational side that excites and motivates me. This drives me even further to discover new ways to benefit from the power of the shared knowledge that they bring, not to mention the meaningful connections that they provide.

Coming from the Super Nerd I take that as a compliment. Thank you.

I did my mid-month assessment today, and 45 of my top 100 photos (10 out of the first 15) had no movement, while 21 of my top 100 videos had none either.

Ah!! So now we know what makes you tick. I admire your perseverance, but most of us are not wired up that way.

Once again congratulations on being featured on the Leaderboards @MoscowMani however, I do have to ask, why have you re-registered for participation on the Leaderboards? As clearly stated on the registration form, if you had previously registered and re-register, all your historical data on the Leaderboard System’s database will be deleted. Let me know about this and sooner rather than later!
