Mid-day update on my challenge.

I’ve looked at a total of 375 casts to start (125 casts each from Home, Following, and Trending). I'm tracking every cast I see in a spreadsheet in case I need to widen the pool before Noicing.

Some notes so far:

a) I’ve only seen 5 users with <100 followers. Expanding to <1,000 brings it to just 30.

b) Of the 375 casts, I would have naturally engaged with 28% of them. None of the casts I would like are from the five users with <100 followers (though I’ll revisit their profiles later).

c) Of the top 25 users I saw most frequently in my feeds, only three have fewer than 1,000 followers.

It's only a small set, so I'm not surprised by how difficult it's been to find newer users in the primary feeds. Now I'm moving onto channels, then will scroll down the leaderboard to find under-the-radar users. Final update to come tonight.

When I'm done with this side quest today, I will be happily going back to my usual fare of surfing and local history. :)

Building a little space by the ocean. More information at /thenextwave coming soon.
