EventBox Generates and Sustains Half Million Kids’ Questions Within Hours

May 11, 2011 - PRLog -- KNOXVILLE, TN – Voices Heard Media announced that its EventBox generated and sustained approximately 500,000 questions from kids before, during and after a live online event held last week for a kid-focused media company. The system took as many as 3,800 questions per minute and averaged more than 2,000 questions per minute through the duration.

The entire Question & Answer session was staged over two weeks, allowing kids to ask questions, answering those questions during the live event, and allow additional questions and comments after the live event was over. The results included:

•   Nearly 400,000 questions during two weeks before the live event
•   130,000 questions during the live event
•   165,000 questions after the live event
•   Nearly 115,000 questions the first two hours after the live event
•   More than 15,000 comments after the live event
•   More than 32,000 votes after the live event  

The total interaction rate for the event was 182 percent, meaning that more than 460,000 unique visitors asked questions, commented or voted nearly 890,000 times.

“This example with our EventBox demonstrates that users want to begin interacting well before a live event and continue the conversation afterward,” said Will Overstreet, founder and CEO of Voices Heard Media. “To maximize social engagement with your visitors, marketers should have the editorial plan and technology tool to engage visitors full-circle or they are missing the opportunities.”

Interestingly, G-rated language filters and correlations technology on the EventBox caused approximately 50,000 submissions to be rejected, saving significant time and effort on the part of the staff to moderate the large-scale event.
