How the EuroBlog message spreads (3)

In the week to Dec 27 the EuroBlog Facebook group gained 18 new members and 6 replied to my email asking what prompted them to join: 2 came through Facebook channels, and 2 through blogs/ websites.

Here are the totals with joiners in the week to Dec 27 in brackets: Personal invite from administrators 16 (1); saw it in Facebook feed 8 (1); invite from Facebook friend 4 (0); Facebook group list 2 (1); EuroBlog blog 4 (1); PR Blogs 7 (1);  academic website 1 (0); Don't know 2 (0); Twitter 1 (0); Mailing list 2 (1).

There is now a Facebook group for Euprera which is open to anyone interested in PR education and research.

Not suprisingly, the way people are learning about the EuroBlog Facebook group is changing; we gained 24 new members in the week to Dec 20, and 14 replied to my email asking what prompted them to join.

Three came through Facebook channels, and 7 through blogs/ websites.

Here are the totals with joiners in the week to Dec 20 in brackets: Personal invite from administrators 15 (1); saw it in Facebook feed 7 (2); invite from Facebook friend 3 (0); Facebook group list 1 (1); EuroBlog blog 3 (3); PR Blogs 6 (3);  academic website 1 (1); Don't know 2 (1); Twitter 1 (0); Mailing list 1 (0).

I will send out a further email today - again it will be interesting to see how the message has reached the 18 people who joined in the Christmas week.

We have also launched a Facebook group for Euprera which is open to anyone interested in PR education and research.

How the EuroBlog message spreads (1)

Last Thursday (Dec 13) I sent a message to the 47 people who had joined the EuroBlog 2008 Facebook group asking them how they had found out about it. Here are the results - not very scientific but interesting...

One of the 47 was me (Philip), another was programme panel colleague Liz Bridgen; of the other people who replied, 13 people responded to a personal invite from PY or LB; 5 saw a notification in their Facebook newsfeed showing a friend had joined; 3 were told by a friend; 3 read about EuroBlog on a PR blog; 1 saw it on a society list. One may have first seen EuroBlog through Twitter.

I will send out a similar email today - it will be interesting to see how the message has reached the 24 people who joined in the last week.

I have also added a public version of Statcounter to this blog so participants can see who is reading it.
