Pew Report on The Viral Kony 2012 Video

From the Pew Internet and American Life Project a report on The Viral Kony 2012 Video:
"Younger adults were also more than twice as likely as older adults to have watched the video itself on YouTube or Vimeo. As of March 13, the video had been viewed more than 76 million times on YouTube and 16 million times on Vimeo, making it one of the most viewed videos of all time on those sites."

The full report can be downloaded here

A good time to point out that you should be posting your videos on YouTube, Vimeo and Blip.tv to maximize visibility. 


Here's your chance to watch Kony 2012 if you missed it along with other videos we have added to our Conflict-free Minerals collection on EarthSayers.tv, voices of sustainability.
