TIS Weekly (#52): 1 Year The Innovation Station; 180 Countries, 954 Videos, 50 Million Reach

[June 5th, 2016]

Time flies when you’re innovating! It’s already a year since we launched TIS. And what a year it has been! Thanks for your support, your contributions, your love! On to the next year, but not without looking back a little. Facts & Figures!

TIS =
International

In the past year we’ve had visitors from 180 countries. Of course from the Netherlands, where our HQ is based, but you are a true international lot, see the Top 10:

1. Netherlands
2. United States
3. Brazil
4. Venezuela
5. Iraq
6. Jordan
7. Germany
8. India
9. Turkey
10. United Kingdom

TIS = 
Community

TIS is community powered media. We are building that community step by step. But with succes. At the moment we have 3290 followers on Twitter and 4545 likes on Facebook. You add videos (but please add more!), you like, you react, you retweet. We love visitors of all ages, but are happy that 46% of you are younger than 34! And it’s nog strange that a site with a lot of attention to technology attracts a lot of men, but we like it that 41,4 % of our audience is female! Great, boys and girls, men and women!

TIS = 
Curated + original content

In the past year, we (so that’s you and us!), collected 954 inspiring and informative videos on 25 themes from Health to Robots to Education to Refugees to Social Innovation. We think curation is important, but on top of that original content is important. We’ve done interviews, we’ve done live shows, we covered events. And we are glad to have the reporters of VPRO’s Metropolis on board making original content from countries like India, Indonesia, Russia, Zimbabwe, Venezuela and more. By the way, some of our videos have been doing 500.000 views, with an accumulated reach of 50 million, not bad hey?

OK that’s it for this week, friends of innovation. Keep on submitting, keep on voting, keep on innovating. Questions? Remarks? Ideas? hello@tis.tv is the address! From TIS with love, Erwin Blom.
