Some highlights:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Most mailing lists stayed more or less the same size this quarter, as the number of new subscribers due to campaigns matched the number deleted automatically from the lists due to bad addresses.<\/p>\n

On Facebook, we saw significant growth of our group (381<\/strong> new members), our new UK page picked up 516<\/strong> new followers, and our revived Turkish page grew by 27% (49<\/strong> new likes). On Twitter, our biggest growth was 315<\/strong> more followers for our Canada (English) account and 449<\/strong> for our global English account.<\/p>\n

Traffic to the main website shrunk slightly, with a surprising number of visits (3,232<\/strong>) to our Delhi (India) page. \u00a0And no, I cannot explain that either.<\/p>\n

In the list below, the first number is the current total, the second one is our previous total. \u00a0I have marked in blue<\/span><\/strong> where we have seen growth.<\/p>\n
