LabourStart in Numbers

August is supposed to be a quiet month.  In Europe and elsewhere, schools are closed, trade union headquarters shut down, people go off on vacation.  I was even away for the first two weeks of the month.  And still LabourStart grew — with big gains for our mailing lists, increased traffic to the website, and the very rapid growth over just two weeks of the new version of UnionBook.

Here are the totals with the changes since the end of July in brackets:

  • Mailing lists – subscribers: 68,857 [+1,023]
  • LabourStart’s English language mailing list: 57,950 [+167]
  • Absolute unique visitors according to Google: 30,153 [+2,055]
  • UnionBook – members: 4,959 [+180]

LabourStart in Numbers – July 2010

The move over to a new server for our mailing lists, and the introduction of automated bounce processing, means a temporary dip in the number of subscribers.  As a result, we’re down from 70,464 to 67,834.  The list that grew the fastest was the Turkish one, which is now our 8th largest list.  July also saw a dramatic fall in the number of unique visitors to the site, probably due to summer holidays (in the northern hemisphere).

Here are the totals with the changes since the end of June in brackets:

  • Mailing lists – subscribers: 67,834 [-2,630]
  • LabourStart’s English language mailing list: 57,783 [+630]
  • Absolute unique visitors according to Google: 28,098 [-11,412]

Another Twitter petition catching fire!

Thanks to John Wood at the British TUC for setting this up for us yesterday — four Twitter petition campaigns in support of Taiwanese workers:

Meanwhile, the web-based campaign itself is catching fire, with over 2,000 messages sent in four languages — and the prospects of a Chinese language version coming soon!
