Porn capital of the porn nation by Gianluca Baio.
From the post:
The other day I was having a quick look to the newspapers and I stumbled on this article. Apparently, Pornhub (a website whose mission should be pretty clear) have analysed the data on their customers and found out that the town of Ware (Hertfordshire) has more demand for online porn than any other UK town. According to PornHub, a Ware resident will last 10 minutes 37 seconds (637 seconds) on its adult website, compared with the world average time of 8 minutes 56 seconds (just 536 seconds).
Gianluca walks you through data available from the Guardian with R, so you can reach your own conclusions.
I need to install Tableau Public before I can download the data set. Will update this post tomorrow.
Enjoy!
Update:
I installed Tableau Public on a Windows XP VM and then downloaded the data file. Turns out with the public version of Tableau there is no open local file option but if you double-click on the file, it will load and open.
Amusing but limited data set. Top five searches, etc.
The Porn Hub Stats page has other reports from the Porn Hub stats crew.
No data downloads for stats, tags, etc., although I did post a message to them asking about that sort of data.
I have just started playing with it but Tableau appears to be a really nice data visualization tool.
