The Social Media team have been providing fantastic support of the English
online fundraiser and we wanted to provide a quick update dedicated to that
work. There were some cool images to go with but unfortunately our
wikimedia-l mailman is dull and boring so here is a summary of their
efforts:
* 3.1 million different Facebook users have seen our "I love Wikipedia
profile picture frames on their friends’ profile pictures. (
http://tinyurl.com/hcfqpcs)
* 2 million different Twitter users have seen the hashtag #ilovewikipedia
on Twitter.
* 9K people have put the picture frame on their pic, telling the world that
they love Wikipedia.
* 6.5K have used the hashtag #ilovewikipedia, which we only adopted a month
ago. Reporting shows the sentiment rating for #ilovewikipedia remains
almost spotless.
* More than 1,000 donors have been thanked on Twitter by Aubrie Johnson,
Jeff Elder, Christophe Henner, and Katherine Maher.
Influential donors publicly stating their support included:
*Joseph Gordon Levitt -

Impressive work and a huge shout out to the team for a really successful
social media drive for this time of year.
We will hopefully have a few updates regarding fundraising coming out in
the next few days so keep an eye out :)
