Unofficial, preliminary statistics show that a milestone occurred for the Saturday morning session of LDS General Conference: there were over 100,000 unique viewers across LDS.org, BYU.tv, and KSL.com for this morning’s session. Viewership is usually about 30% higher on Sunday.
Google Hot Trends reflects what people are currently searching for on Google. Rather than showing the most popular searches overall, which would always be generic terms like “weather,” Hot Trends highlights searches that experience sudden surges in popularity, and updates that information hourly. The screen capture below shows the results Saturday afternoon at 1:39pm. Searches for LDS.org, BYU.tv, and LDS general conference were very popular at that time.
The chart below shows how quickly interest in LDS.org was climbing.
Yesterday during and just after conference the tag #ldsconf was the top of their “trends” as well.
10000? That’s it? I guess that’s streams, not viewers, but I still expected it to be significantly higher.
The number was 100,000 unique viewers (not 10,000). There were more streams than that, but they came from 100,000 unique viewers/computers.
