fastest growing group: digidose: love technology leads the pack [your group here]

Hey Currentators,

Beginning today, we're going to start posting a list of the fastest growing community-created groups on Current.com. There are a few good reasons for doing this. First, it gives you an idea of where your group lands in the larger landscape of group-dom here on Current. Second, this list gives you an opportunity to discover new groups that you weren't even aware existed. Third, getting to the top of this daily list on a regular basis will help get your group featured more prominently on Current.com.

How? We'll take the group that is the "fastest growing group" of the day and feature it in the Current Stories section on the homepage of Current.com. I'm sure there will be some questions about this, so before anyone cries "conspiracy" or "censorship" let me lay out how this will work.

Fastest growing groups are determined based on daily growth in membership alone. In order to grow your membership base, you'll need to promote your group, both on Current.com and in your other social networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc. In order to get people to actually join your group, you'll need to have some interesting (and recent) content in your group. So make sure you've got your curator hat on before you start spreading the word about your awesome new group.

Now, to keep us honest we'll post a list of the fastest growing groups in the past 24 hours on the blog between the hours of 3-5 pacific on a daily basis. The group in the #1 seat gets featured on Current.com's homepage, as well as in the playlist on the groups homepage as well.

So, without much further ado, here is today's list of the top 10 fastest growing groups on Current.com in the past 24 hours:

1. DigiDose: Love Technology (10 new members) -- curated by brownie4590 -- FEATURED!

2. Jon Stewart (8 new members) -- curated by hunzedog

3. The Science Club (4 new members) -- curated by wirehedd

4. Exposing the Wrongs (4 new members) -- curated by stopnoise

5. The Art Gallery (3 new members) -- curated by DeliaTheArtist

6. Mathematics (3 new members) -- curated by SamtheWizer

7. Universal Health Insurance (3 new members) -- curated by lvp

8. Hip Hop Heads (3 new members) -- curated by leo9jai

9. SOCA Music (3 new members) -- curated by DJTonyTempo

10. DMT (3 new members) -- curated by RojoGatto

So, kudos to brownie4590. His DigiDose group is now featured in Current Stories on the homepage, and it will be added to the groups playlist as well. Remember, this is an experiment. We want more and more people to know about our groups functionality, and we figure that we can do this best by calling attention to some of our fastest growing groups. The cool thing is, by growing your groups, you could in turn score the chance to get some added promotion on our homepage.

We'll try this out for a bit, see how it goes, and if need be make some adjustments. I'll update the blog again tomorrow with a new top 10 list and a new top group, so until then promote and curate your groups!
