Headline news –<\/strong>
\n1 The Italian mailing list grew five-fold from 560 to 2,420, becoming our third largest list overnight – due to the FIAT campaign.
\n2 The Russian list also grew by some 15% in one month due to our Kazakhstan campaign.
\n3 For the first time ever, UnionBook has more members than our group on Facebook – which has declined in membership for the first time.
\n4 Our followers on Twitter outnumber both of these, and the number has now exceeded 5,000 for the first time.
\n5 Our relatively inactive group on LinkedIn continues to grow at the rate of 10% per month.
\n6 At the current rate of growth (5 new correspondents per month), we won’t reach 1,000 correspondents before the end of 2012 – so we’ll want to do a cull to remove inactive correspondents sooner than that.
\n7 Traffic to the site remained quite high considering that it was December. There were just under 600,000 unique visitors. And this in spite of the fact that the last third of the month would have seen many (or most) of our readers on vacation.<\/p>\n
