LabourStart in Numbers – July 2013
This report has been delayed by about ten days due to my holiday.
The numbers in brackets are for the previous month. Strong gains (100 or more) are highlighted in bold.
Highlights:
- German has moved up to being our 5th largest mailing list.
- We have a new mailing list – in Hindi.
- For the first time ever, the top five languages have over 100,000 subscribers — that’s English, French, Spanish, Italian and German.
- The total of all active lists is now 113,976.
- We’re just under 10,000 followers on Twitter – and we should reach that goal any day now.
- More people sign up to follow us on Twitter than like us on Facebook — by nearly two-to-one.
- Our Facebook group is growing much faster than our ‘likes’ for our page.

Seems odd to me that the fb group is growing so much faster than the page, given that fb seems to want to phase groups out and doesn’t make them very user friendly. Maybe some are spammers but that wouldn’t account for all of them. I wonder why.
