Something I noticed earlier today - the BBC News pages show how many pages have been served in the past minute, and that cycles round with other facts about the site... When I was looking earlier this morning (around middayish) it showed over 73,000 pages served THAT MINUTE - that's insane! Right now it's saying "82,357 people are reading stories on the site right now."

Sometimes I forget just how massive the audience is for the beebnews pages... > -----Original Message----- > From: Richard Lockwood [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 26 March 2007 11:22 > To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk > Subject: Re: [backstage] BBC site statistics > > I've always found that the more "technical" or "geeky" a site > is, the higher %age of non-IE users you'll find.
