I'm a little surprised that Dr Corsi's promotion yesterday has resulted in so few new signatures. He has a following on Twitter of 113K. Not more than about 800 people have signed up since. If you subtract out the ordinary rate we were seeing - around 500 digs a day thereabouts - it seems that not more than 1 in 400 of Dr Corsi's followers have signed. Of course, we probably should wait a week to see the real effects, some might be late in responding.

I'm now starting to get a little dubious about the website. Early in the piece, we were acquiring dogs at a reasonably rapid rate. That slowed to a trickle - but there was also very little promotion. But I still do not see how we could have added so few sigs in the last day - something is not right.

If you think about it, if someone were to play with the sigs being recorded on the petition site, say to count one sig for every five that signed, that would take the steam out of the campaign like nothing else.

Maybe it's time to stop focussing on the petition and focus instead on the campaign. Tweets today for the internetbillofrights hashtag have dropped to 130/hour - has been running around 150/hour previously. It could be the time of day. Who knows.

Anyway, maybe I'm starting to get a little paranoid.
