You can view last months report here if you want to see the figures for July.

Key Points to Note:
- The tracking tools we use have shown some considerable variations over the last month. Leading sites like WordPress, Tumblr, Blogspot and LinkedIn are attracting new users on a daily basis, so continued growth is expected, as is ‘user churn’.
- Facebook for the third time have released specific stats for Australia, if only Twitter would do the same (Twitter is yet to release Australian specific stats and have told me they do not track users by region).
