LC Flickr followup
Saturday, January 19, 2008 by level1librarian
The Library of Congress’s pilot project with Flickr got an overwhelming response:
• 392,000 views on the photostream
• 650,000 views of photos
• Adding in set and collection page views, there were about 1.1 million total views on our account
• All 3,100+ photos have been viewed
• 420 of the photos have comments
• 1,200 of the photos have been favorited [on Jan 18, 2008]
The really interesting thing is what the LC is going to do next. According to Matt Raymond:
“I’m not sure what the next step will be and when it will happen, but I can tell you that the reaction to this two-day-old project has already vastly exceeded our expectations.”
