City Hits: 2004-06-07

As we all know, overall hits are down for some reason. But, as normal, Saskatoon continues to extend it's lead with 634 hits in the last quarter. Edmonton continues to close in on Regina, but at a slower rate. Winnipeg had a surprisingly good quarter. The top 10 kept the same order, but there was some repositioning in the 10 to 20 slots. La Ronge gained 2 spots and Kamloops had a terrible quarter, dropping 3 spots! New to the list is Weyburn, which knocked Yorkton off and had to have had at least 45 hits to do it!

Other items of note: Toronto stays in the top 20, while Halifax gained 10 spots. Finally, we improved by 134 locations to 2226.<pre>

Thanks Pooga. I always find the stats interesting. Not surprisingly, the top 19 spots are all west of Ontario, but Toronto is creeping up there. With a few more users in Ontario, we may see more cities from there in the top ranks. With the huge population base in Ontario, there should be great potential for new users and new hits. I remember reading somewhere in the forums that Where's Willy is mostly Ontario based but I doubt that they are widespread enough to have cornered the market.

Thanks for the stats Pooga, they are very interesting.

I would think that Weyburn should be ahead of Yorkton. We have two or three active users in Weyburn and I don't believe any in Yorkton. Do we?

Its good to see that Yellowknife is quite active and in the top 40
These stats are always great to have a peak at every so often thanks Pooga. BTW great comentary style:)

I don't think any site has cornered the market..
we only have a little better than 1/2 million bills regestered..
and willy no more than say 700 000 .. being gerenous i think ..
there are millions of people who never noticed the stamps yet.
to catch up to where's willy in the east would be great.

Those are bills registered or entered on the site.
some i know are stamped with our site..& registered there as well as here

Then you also have to realize the # of bills that are registered may not all be in circulation anymore..
with bills being destroyed.
so say 750K bills between 2 sites.. and almost 1 billion people in canada.. :) population i am guessing

Interesting stats on the bills entered as well, LC. BTW, I assume you meant 1 billion bills in Canada.

and almost 1 billion people in canada.. :) population i am guessing

Actually LC, it's a little over 32,500,000 million here, and about 295,000,000 in the States.
The world is about 6.4 billion.

<a href=http://www.statcan.ca/english/Pgdb/demo05a.htm target=_blank>Here's a Census site for you to browse through.</a>

<a href=http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/ target=_blank>And here's another one I use a lot.</a>

hehe oops..
i thought there'd be more with calgary & edmonton almost at a million people guessing again.. but vancouver & metro. a couple million
but a billion bills in circulation is probably a shortfall of what is out there
so just using the billion bills in circulation and the total regestered bills for willy & CMT 1.2 M
that is 1.2 M / 1B that is close to .1 % of money stamped.
