Matthew Goodwin has done some analysis and finds “The EU Referendum Events Project at the Universities of Kent and Nottingham, which is mapping campaign events in real time, shows Remain is far more active than Leave, the bulk of the activity on both sides is concentrated on London, and Brexit backers have yet to target northern England, which should be fertile ground for Eurosceptics.”
Meanwhile over on twitter
Twitter have launched a EURef Data Hub, it appears Leave is the most talked about campaign. https://t.co/Bw9SN2Fh6V pic.twitter.com/9Eq8godHns

Whether either of these metrics is a pointer for who will win the referendum, I’m not so sure, but it does fit my experience, Leavers appear to be the most voluble on twitter, just like Labour supporters were at the last general election, and we all know how that turned out.
