Thanks for responding! Now, would you mean specifically time spent on your organization's profile and uploaded media within the site? With bonus points if we could say how long someone was on your profile, how long they spent viewing a video and so on? Would you be interested to know if a person forwarded your video?

I think many of the folks here are NPO employees, yes? So I am in a slightly different category- I work for a company that is building a social network FOR NPOs though we are not one ourselves named Call2Action. Our goal is to make it easy for users to take action after watching cause related media. (ie see "An Inconvenient Truth, be brought to a list
