In April, I reported on growth of the RLC’s state-based Yahoo and Facebook groups. The RLC uses its eGroups, operated by YahooGroups.com, serve as the RLC’s primary online communications vehicle. They are consistent, reliable, and allow for membership participation, event announcements, and grassroots coordination.
Membership in eGroups has steadily climbed since the summer of 2006. What follows is the information how many subscribers each state had in 2006, followed by 2008, followed by 2009.
State | 2006 | 2008 | Apr. 2009 | Jan. 2010
