This is the bi-weekly report on the New York State Senate’s web presence. This period the website
received a total of 60752 visits, a bit up since last the last report. It had a bounce rate of 59%, the same
as last report, and higher than the long term average of 43%. The website had new visitors 67% of the
time, one point less than in the last report and more than the long term average of 66%.

In this report we're introducing statistics on the Open Legislation service provided by the New York State
Senate to make bills, meeting calendars, meeting transcripts and other legislative documents available to
the public in transparent and searchable way. In the past two weeks the most searched for legislative
items were around Divorce Law and the Budget. This does not necessarily correlate with the most viewed
items, however. The report following shows the most viewed Bills, Keyword Searches, Calendars,
Transcripts and Meetings in the Open Legislation system.

The live webcasting of session has drawn 697785 visits. Archived footage kept pace in growth arriving att
621469 views to date. The short clips on the NYSenate Youtube account are about 9 times more watched
than the full videos of session and events posted on the nysenateuncut account.

The number of Senators using Facebook and Twitter accounts linked to NYSenate.gov remained
constant at 35 and 23 respectively. Using social media the Senators now reach a total of 26083 people
through Facebook, using accounts linked to NYSenate.gov and 13810 through Twitter accounts linked to
NYSenate.gov. The NYSenate account itself currently reaches over 4228 people through its Twitter
account.
