First up is Facebook, which reports that roughly one million users tuned in through its Live Stream box across CNN, E! Online, MTV and ABC News. They posted a total of about 800,000 status updates during the memorial, with a peak of approximately 6,000 status updates per minute.
Stats from MSNBC, Ustream, Akamai and the full Facebook breakdown after the jump.
—MSNBC: 3 million live streams; 7 million uniques and 82 million page views by 2pm PDT
—Ustream: 4.6 million total streams worldwide; 1.6 million unique visits; 12,000 messages sent in chat rooms per minute
—Akamai: Over 2.7 million people were tuned into various memorial streams at noon PDT (per ZDNet); that still pales in comparison to the 7.7 million concurrent streams tracked during the Obama inauguration—but the full day stats aren’t out yet.
—Facebook/CNN: 759,000 streams; 733,000 status updates
—Facebook/ABC: 97,000 streams; 48,000 status updates
—Facebook/E! Online: 87,000 streams; 9,000 status updates
—Facebook/MTV: 21,000 streams; 5,000 status updates
(Editor’s Note: The Facebook data does not reflect the full online viewing stats for the networks, only the number of viewers getting the streams through the social network.)
