Weekly digest of W3C news and trends: Meet the TAG, Tokyo W3C Meetup, AB election campaign, EFF joined W3C etc.

This is the 17-24 May 2013 edition of a “weekly digest of W3C news and  
trends" that the W3C Communications Team prepares for the W3C Membership  
and public-w3c-digest mailing list (publicly archived [1]) [sent  
separately]. This digest aggregates information about W3C from online  
media, a snapshot of how W3C and its work is perceived in online media.

Notably, in an otherwise rather quiet week :

- over 600 stories about W3C on Twitter in the past week.
- over 1800 mentions of W3C in past week.
- With 62299 Twitter followers, net increase of 628 followers in the past  
week. Best progression Monday 20-May with +139.
- 24 posts that dlvr.it posted between May 12 - May 19 got 25.2K (+26%)  
clicks with a potential reach to 71.7K (+1%) connections.
- Peaks on 21-May (400 mentions) with top story “Meet the TAG” [1], and on  
23-May (467) with top story of a meme “when asked if our integration is  
W3C valid” [2].
