By the way, do people still go there, or has that finally run its course from fame to old hat to obscurity? Is the museum at Gene Autry, Oklahoma still functioning? Will the "Kearney Arch" ever match its proponents' expectations?
 | People in the electronic media world speak of applications "going viral." A "top 10" YouTube video on how to solve Rubik's cube is paying its creator's way through college -- based on "click-through" advertising. Kilgore Memorial Library's web site, flickr image collections, and this blog certainly do not fit in that category. |
If I read google/analytics right, only the "followers" have looked at this blog the last few days. 1,804 visitors have touched www.yorklib.org in the last month, with an average of 2.57 page views per visit. That's not going very far into the content on the site. A flurry of Niblo interest was probably related to the Academy Awards last weekend. Water Towers gets some hits -- who knows why? The flickr images with the most repeat views (1), (2), (3) are in groups, or are referred to by outside web sites. A third have never been viewed.
Are those numbers good or bad? They certainly indicate this blog is not currently a reliable way to inform library users about new services, and that folks who'd like to know more about York, Nebraska's history are not finding our flickr sets.
There was no dramatic jump in google/analytics numbers following a York News-Times article about the library's online presence. Library staff have not commented that people are asking about those services.
The Columbus Public Library paid a professional media company to produce a YouTube video promoting the library. The statistics counter showed 13,375 views in the past year. Did those views motivate folks to use that library?
