Friday meta-discussion: Number of posts per day?

As Greater Greater Washington has grown, the number of posts has increased per day. Part of this is because there’s just a lot to talk about. We also have more contributors and guest opinions covering more topics. We’ve started some regular features, like Kent’s architectural histories, and experimented with cross-posting important items from around the nation and in the federal government through Streetsblog.

GGW has gone from averaging about 2-3 posts per day to 4-5 now. What do you think about this pace? Do the added posts make GGW more useful, since there’s something new more often when you want to take a break at work? Or are we starting to have too many posts, so that some of them get lost? Would you rather see more content, less, or about the same?

I’ve debated whether to ask this question in a comment thread, because there’s some danger of an Innovator’s Dilemma situation: the opinions of current commenters reflect the most active readers who choose to comment, not necessarily all readers, and even the opinions of readers might skew one way while a different course could bring in even more readers. We might do a reader survey in the near future. In the meantime, let’s give this a shot.

In your reply, please say whether you read GGW via an RSS reader, on the Web, or get the email digest.
