CNN wasn’t too far behind, at 9 minutes 45 seconds per month. BuzzFeed clocked in third at 9 minutes 21 seconds per month. (BuzzFeed, however, slays both CNN and Wikipedia in time spent with the sites’ apps, compared with mobile websites. BuzzFeed users devote more than 2 hours per month to its apps, compared with about 46 minutes among CNN app users and 31 minutes among Wikipedia app loyalists.) Another way to look at Wikipedia’s influence: Wikipedia reaches almost one-third of the total mobile population each month, according to Knight’s analysis, which used data from the audience-tracking firm Nielsen." -- Tilman Bayer Senior Analyst Wikimedia Foundation IRC (Freenode): HaeB _______________________________________________ Mobile-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines New messages to: [email protected] Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe>
