The 300 views thing is a specific YouTube issue, where it stops at or about 300 for a period. The others seems to be a general problem in getting Google to produce reliable numbers, a quick google suggests adsense may have similar issues. I'm guessing that getting running totals from "map reduce" style programming isn't guaranteed to be consistent in Google's deployment. Although does seem sad that with a million computers, plus Javascript in your browser, they can't reliably compute the totals for a list. Given the rest of the magic they do, presumably they aren't trying that hard for the totals. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
