Historical statistics: number of members on myBO

For our first week, this was the most important number to track. The growth was consistenly over 40%/day, sometimes over 100%/day, until July 3, when the combination of the holiday weekend and email listserv problems slowed it substantially. We resumed growing by 1,000-2,000 people per day after the long weekend. Somewhere around1,000 and 2,000 members left the group on Wednesday, July 9, during and after the FISA vote.

Number of members (as reported by my.barackobama.com)

Methodology:

• Numbers since June 30, 9 a.m., are as reported by my.barackobama.com from this page, which gives a member count for the group
• Earlier numbers are estimates based on the statistics on early growth described here.
  

See Anti FISA bill group on my.barackobama.com reaches 2200 members by John Joseph Bachir on Obama Letdown Watch for more on the early growth of the group.

6/29	around 2100	40%
6/30	4291	100%
7/1	7468	75%
7/2	10110	35%
