221B Baker Street: Sherlock Holmes Action Tracker by We Are What We Do We will shortly be closing our Action Tracker. Over the last seven years, its community of users have tracked nearly 5 million actions and we're grateful to everyone who has taken part and supported this great achievement.

With this new approach, we aim to reach a larger, mainstream audience and have a more profound, measurable impact.
