2011 Annual Summary

Launch Date: November 2008

Analysis: CDC.gov Widgets have continued to expand and grow rapidly since launch. Since launch, there have been 84,980,564 views and interactions with CDC’s Widgets. A "view" includes the number of times a widget was loaded on a page, while an "interaction" can include the number of times the "Go" button was clicked, the "previous" and "next buttons" were clicked, or the number of times the user browsed through the contents of a widget and interacted with a component of the widget. The number of sites where a widget was embedded can also be called "virality." This refers to the widget being spread by users sharing it and adding it on their own sites, bringing new users to the original CDC content and therefore adding additional utility.
