In the run up to the summer season, it’s not unusual that there is a HUGE online surge in interest in Ibiza and more particularly, as far as we are concerned, in Space Ibiza. So far this year, however, and even our own in-house team of nerds are blown away with the number of new Space fans that are tapping into our world, visiting our Space if you will. We were lucky enough this week to receive a big long list of statistics on where the club sits in terms of social networking and web 2.0 and believe us, dear readers, it’s pretty impressive stuff.
Apart from the fact that the Space website alone received over 2 million unique hits in 2011, the many other facets of the world wide web are also pulling in huge numbers to the Space Community…
Take social online phenomenon Facebook, for example, with an astonishing 555.000 individuals making up the Space Clan there (www.facebook.com/spacebeachclub ) and an average of 10,000 people talking about the world’s best club at any given moment. Even more impressive, the fact that Space Ibiza’s Facebook page is top of the FB leaderboard with more followers than any other club in the world. It’s not the number one club in the world for nothing! Add to that the Space Ibiza Twitter (http://twitter.com/spaceibiza ), which has gathered up some 18, 000 faithful followers since it launched in July 2011, and between the two of them alone, that’s an awful lot of constant chatter going on about our favourite subject- Space Ibiza, obviously.
Then, for the total aural effect, it’s a toss up between Space Radio Online(http://www.spaceibiza.com/radio/index.php) (which is appropriately playing YouANDMe from a Kehakuma session from 2011 when we click on) and a welcome blast of Mixcloud (http://www.mixcloud.com/SpaceIbiza/) where it’s all going on as far as DJ sessions are concerned. Nearly 4000 loyal followers listening to the best DJ sets recorded both in and outside the club itself, including sessions from Space Ibiza On Tour - a euphony of Space sounds from both the residents and a huge number of very special guest DJs.
To finish off this journey into outer space, a little look at the Space Channel…
(http://www.youtube.com/user/SpaceIbizaclub) where current visitors to the site are greeted by the happy, smiley face of one of the club’s beloved DJ sons- Wally Lopez- dressed in full beard and workman’s helmet, proving to the viewer that preparations for the Space Opening on Domingo 27th May are well underway (see for yourself) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BC2CUCLAiCU
Inspired already, and with 124 other Space videos to get through, that’s hours of virtual action right there to keep us all entertained whilst we await the real, live Space Opening Fiesta on Sunday 27th May.
