The TSR got 100'000 views in 3 weeks on the LIFT08 content, but as our videos are hosted on numerous platforms (Nouvo, Google, Vpod, YouTube) it is not the only place where our speakers get a lot of online exposure. We are about to pass 100'000 views on Google Video:

For each person visiting the conference we get 150+ views on the online videos, which confirms there is strong interest in the ideas expressed at LIFT all over the world!

I updated the view counts of the videos and here is the top 10 all time. 7 LIFT08 videos (that's the TSR effect!), 2 from LIFT07 and Cory Doctorow's legendary LIFT06 speech.

These 10 talks account for close to 125'000 views! Thanks to all our viewers, and to Google Video for the bandwidth ;) See all the LIFT videos in one page here.

This press release made my day:

GenevaLunch announced it is completing its transition to the Lake Geneva region’s only news site produced entirely in English, published and edited by professional English- language journalists. It will end its first full year 31 December with well over 12,000 returning visitors, 78,000 total visitors and 140,000 pages viewed.

Why is GenevaLunch special for us at LIFT? Because Ellen Wallace started the company at LIFT06! From that same press release:

GenevaLunch grew out of the Lift06 conference in Geneva, initially as a pilot project that used blog technology in a new way to create a low-cost community newsletter. In mid-2007 the site began to accept advertising from companies active in the English-speaking community and it is now seeking sponsors to strengthen its reporting team.

And since 2007 GenevaLunch is a close partner of LIFT, sponsoring our pre-conference drinks and now joining the ranks of our media partners. This is really nice. If you can't find sponsors invent them ;)

I'm at SIME, having a drink with Rodrigo of vPod, and he reminded me that LIFT's videos are available in full screen! See them on our dedicated channel available on my.vpod.tv/liftconference.
