[Air-l] Internet traffic on Sept. 11

[David Wiley]

While this doesn't speak for the entire Internet, it is probably quite
representative.

And if you're interested in CMC but don't read Slashdot, you probably should
visit the link anyway.

Has anyone seen statistics on Internet traffic on Sept. 11 and 12? If so,
where? I noticed that the major news websites were really "slow" on Sept.
11. I also heard the CEO of Earthlink on NPR talk about huge spikes in
traffic to his member sites. He also mentioned that e-mail use was down, and
the use of synchronous chat was up. I'm teaching a CMC class and would love
to talk about it in class.
