I 100% agree that it is a quantitative measure. I have not yet found a good enough sentiment analysis tool (see my latest post on that: http://tr.im/GdfB).

Ours will have a regional focus and isn't likely to draw hundreds of links from other sites, so I'm not holding my breath over our Technorati ranking :D. One comment, though--number of comments per post is a quantitative measure, not qualitative. If you evaluated the content of the comments (this comment should count as positive :D), that would be qualitative. If you're using number of comments as a measure of engagement, that moves it toward the qualitative, but it's still a numerical data point, to me.

Yazısında, 2006′da yazmaya başlarken, blogu için seçtiği üç hedefi belirtmiş. Birinci hedefini Edwin Schlossberg’un bir sözü ile anlatmaya çalışıyor. "Yazı yazma vasfı diğer insanların düşünebileceği bir içerik çerçevesi oluşturmaktır". Bu sözün tercümesi ile ilgili biraz yardım almaya çalıştım ama, yinede kendi tercümemi kullanmayı tercih ettim.
