Hey Currentians,

It’s Friday. It’s a little after 5pm. It’s time for the top 5 fastest growing groups on Current. Today’s top spot goes to Indie Music, curated by Mike_Johnston. Here’s the full list:

1. Indie Music (4 new members) — curated by Mike_Johnston

2. Progressive America (12 new members) — curated by Sumbodyswatchin

3. H.E.M.P. (2 new members) — curated by JackHerer

4. Drug News (2 new members) — curated by WTFitsMeSarah

5. Organic (2 new members) — curated by lookatmypix

So a big huzzah! for Indie Music, which is now featured in the “Current Stories” section of the Current.com homepage, as well our Groups homepage. Keep it up!

For the rest of you, why not check out Indie Music for yourselves, and if you like what you see consider joining the Indie Music group.

I just wanted to clear up a question asked by Hunzedog re: our Fastest Growing Groups posts — what are the rules and frequency of the post?

The rules are simple:

- Each day at around 3pm, I pull together a list of groups that have had the most new members in the past 24 hours.

- This is about the groups you guys create, so I exclude groups for our franchises like SuperNews!, Vanguard, infoMania, Max and Jason: Still Up, etc.

- After a top spot placement, a group must cycle out for a full 7 days before being back in the running. So for example, Indie Music will not be eligible for a top spot again until next Friday.

- Sometimes things come up preventing the post. We don’t anticipate this happening often, but we also can’t promise that it won’t happen. Apologies in advance for these.

Well, I hope that clears things up. It’s time for the weekend, so spend some time with your groups, try to grow them as best you can, but be sure to take some time out for sunshine and fresh air.

See you next Monday with a new top 5!

Yo Currentians!

Well, the top 5 fastest growing groups list has been pulled for Wednesday, and it looks like DeliaTheArtist has taken the top spot with her newly minted group, The Future. Here are the stats:

1. The Future (17 new members) — curated by DeliaTheArtist

2. Booked (14 new members) — curated by Lrn_Willis

3. SF&F and Comics (5 new members) — curated by booksellergirl

4. Gaming (4 new members) — curated by Nettle

5. Culture (4 new members) — curated by St_Alia_10191

Considering that The Future barely launched yesterday, this appears to be something that struck a chord with members of the community. Nicely done, DeliaTheArtist!

In addition, it’s pretty sweet to see some continued growth for Booked and SF&F and Comics. Gaming remains strong. And apparently some folks had a taste for a little Culture. Nice.

As always, I’ll be back tomorrow with another top 5 tomorrow (after 3pm), but for now let’s all do a virtual slow clap for The Future — it’s in the featured spot on the homepage and will be added to the featured section on the Groups homepage as well.
