[OpenGLAM] Impact metrics: Increase in reach and reuse of Open Images

Fri Feb 22 13:34:51 UTC 2013

and wow...just wow on this fact:

" In the whole of 2011 these articles generated almost 19,000,000 page 
views. In 2012 this more than doubled to nearly 40,000,000 (!). In other 
words, this means that in 2012 a Wikipedia article containing reused 
media from Sound and Vision was viewed nearly 40,000,000 times."

The first video I ever used from Sound and Vision was for the 
[[hairstylist]] article I wrote for English Wikipedia: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hairstylist#20th_century

Gotta love the Coup Sixty-One!

Great report, thanks Maarten.
