A few years ago (2006 actually) we started looking total attendance at user group meetings as a yardstick to gauge interest. I'm not sure the numbers mean that much, other than to look at the overall trends. As I was compiling the data from 2009, I realized that we had passed the 10,000 mark.

That's interesting. Both Salesforce.com and Oracle.com world conferences broken the 10,000 mark in 2009 too.
