One of our web writers, Nathan Masters, wrote a post the other day, on the LA As Subject section of our site.
It is called: Why Californian's love saying "THE" before Freeway numbers.
Almost instantly, it began to take off, with web hits. I had read it on Facebook and without prompting, I had shared the post on my own Facebook page.
About an hour later, the people who work with the website, were asking the staff to share the post, because it was getting so much traffic, it was almost crashing our website. We had never seen anything like it.
Normally the articles have no comments, or just a few. This one has (as of early Saturday morning) 312 comments on the KCET webpage.
Facebook likes. 249 thousand. Seriously high numbers and still rising.
I became part of the drive, because I understand social media. I had a another employee/friend, mention an old ID, in the comments on my Facebook wall. It was an ID we did back in 2003 and I helped track it down for the team.
I mentioned The Californians, too. All pieces of the pie that we have put together, to keep those hits and likes coming.
It has been pretty interesting to me...social media maven, with her shiny degree.
Maybe I will get into my car and take The 5 down to The 170 and over to The 134 and check in at work to see what it is doing, over the weekend. ;-)
If you missed it on my Facebook page, I do urge you to click the link above. It is an interesting article.
