Most Popular States on Fodors
 

Today just for fun I looked at each state's list of posts and noted the date of post number fifty. Here are the results listed in order from the one that took the least time to get fifty different posts (California - six days) to the one that took the longest (North Dakota - a bit more than three and a half years)

(Since it took about 40 minutes to do all this some of the more popular states' figures may be a bit off by now.)

generally gives you an idea. However - since only about 60-65% of posters remember to click on a state, your numbers are quite short . . . . .

Phew. And I thought I had too much time on MY hands!

And janice has a good point. Your statistics really don't mean much as a great many posts -- possibly half of them -- don't come up at all when you click a state.

True, while I don't often start posts, I have never remembered to tag them by state.

Yawn.

Why are people needing to be rude today? This is not the first "yawn" I've read. If a post is so boring to you... pass on by.

I agree with suze.

It's rude to call somebody rude.

Well, I have to say I think this interesting. I am surprised that my home state of Missouri is not lower in the ranks:-)
