Whether it helped make poverty history, I guess time will tell, but Live 8 certainly gave a boost to the BBC's online division, which is almost as important, surely. A record number of 14.6 million page impressions were clocked up by the Beeb's Live 8 site in the three day period surrounding the event, while the BBC's Live 8 mobile phone website got a further 112,000 hits.
Other online coverage from the Beeb that pulled in the crowds includes their Glastonbury coverage, which scored 13.4 million page impressions, as well as their coverage of major sports events like Wimbledon and the NatWest One Day Series.
As for the BBC Online's radio on demand service, the Archers remains the most accessed show, with Radio 1's Chris Moyles in second place.
