A snapshot of the Statistics page up through July 2, after which we didn't update it for about 10 days.

Number of members on myBO

This is the most important number to track. The group crossed 4000 members and entered the top 5 groups on myBO on Monday morning, June 30.


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.

Date	Members (as of noon, EDT)	% change in the last day (approximate)

More frequent numbers

Sometimes its useful to track things at a finer granularity than a day, for example to find spikes in awareness after mentions on prominent blogs (the statistics on early growth have some good examples of this).
