TITLE: Why is algebraic geometry so over-represented on this site?
QUESTION [20 upvotes]: Seriously. As an undergrad my thesis was on elliptic curves and modular forms, and I've done applied industrial research that invoked toric varieties, so it's not like I'm a partisan here. But this can't be a representative cross-section of mathematical questions. How can this be fixed? (I mean the word "fixed".)

REPLY [2 votes]: I think that in some fields people are more active in the internet. There seems to be some correlation between the most popular tags here and the number of blogs in the corresponding section in the mathematics/statistics blog wiki here:

I do not know the relative proportion of algebraic geometers to other mathematicians but it may be in some fields the internet is more useful than others and there is more activity of the people in the field.
