Inside LabourStart

On 23 August, just after our conference in Washington, I posted a report here with some numbers and I’d like to update this about once a month.  Here are today’s totals with the change since August (always increases) in brackets.  Most notable are the very large gains to our number of Twitter followers and our mailing lists (and this is a net gain, as we loose many subscribers each month due to bouncing email addresses):

• Mailing lists – subscribers: 59,000 [+394]
• UnionBook – members: 4,539 [+522]
• Facebook – members of LabourStart group: 2,013 [+21]
• Twitter – followers: 1,571 [+378]
• Correspondents: 687 [+16]
• Union group on Flickr: 491 [+32]

Traffic to the site plummeted, as expected, as Christmas drew near.  Nevertheless, we had 43,950 unique visitors in December, with 6,616 visiting on our peak day – 3 December.  See a report here.
