Comment on The Story Behind a Radical New Idea: A Social Network for Academiaparent

Comments

I created an account a while back to circumvent Academia.edu's signup wall, not using my full name because I don't actually want an academia.edu page coming up when someone Googles me. I don't think I meant to "follow" Jean-Francois Delvenne of the University of Leeds, but unfortunately for Prof. Delvenne I did and now "this is a nice website for me to poop on" is one of his 37 followers (http://leeds.academia.edu/JeanFrancoisDelvenne/Followers?_pj...). And I'm not even sure this is the only account I made for this purpose.

The real question is, how many active weekly users does Academia.edu have?
