As you get ready to enjoy your weekend, I thought I’d offer this picture of the last week of blog traffic. Believe it or not, there are some interesting things here.
The first thing I noticed was the near perfect symmetry in the weekday points. (The first two data points are Saturday and Sunday, the last five are Monday through Friday). Too bad it looks like a dunce cap.
Then I thought, wow, this really does describe some weeks. A slight uptick in productivity on Monday as we get back from the weekend, ramping up to its midweek peak, then declining again toward Friday. I’ve heard you should try never to buy a car made on a Monday or a Friday. This chart illustrates why.
OK. maybe not so interesting. However, to satisfy your curiosity about the reason for the midweek peak in traffic: I got linked by Overlawyered. Could I get a little more of that?
UPDATE (10/19/07): My request for “a little more of that” was rhetorical, but Overlawyered nonetheless obliges!
