That is quite a spike in July. Was that from the BBC mention?

Hmm what's up with the nationality of users? I really doesn't fit with the member. Sweden and Israel are second and third!

Heh, shows that it's much better to be advertised on such websites (that I had never heard about before...) than BBC!

not necessarily. the ALEXA ranking is not a very accurate measure of overall popularity. for example, the graph shows us DOWN a lot over the last few days, which is false since we have had record traffic. the ALEXA is a small and somewhat biased selection, and people who read techcrunch happen to be oversampled. does that make sense? :)
