I think the tech speak basically just means that it's a) proportional to how many people you have friended, b) inversely proportional to how insular your friends group is, and c) on a logarithmic scale (like the Richter scale, decibels, and the stellar magnitude scale), as most readily-interpretable really big numbers are.

Considering the LJ stats:
Users
How many users, and how many of those are active?

* Total accounts: 9931344
* ... active in some way: 1991293
* ... that have ever updated: 6727763
* ... updating in last 30 days: 1310048
* ... updating in last 7 days: 811868
* ... updating in past 24 hours: 220549

I think the writer of this algorithm maybe should cull the 1/3 of all LJ accounts that have never updated for these "pop" numbers to be statistically meaningful in any way.

Being folks who post, with LJ reading-buddies who post, we're bound to get above average numbers as it currently stands. still, it amuses.
