Yeah, I showed it to Brian when he was visiting the other week… he wants to take over one of our newsletters. ;)

I think it my indeed be Brian Livingstone’s newsletter. He has been talking about RSS a few times, and today included some links to your product.
Regards,
Erwin.

I think you are seeing monday-morning readership of Brian Livingston’s InfoWorld article. A lot of people don’t check up on tech news on the weekends, and that could be pushing your page views.

Aha, I think we have it. Myke M pointed out that Brian Livingston mentioned NewsGator in an InfoWorld article - go read it!

Well, it’s possible, but all of those articles came out at least a week ago, and most of them also contain direct links (so we see them in our referrer logs). Today’s traffic came in from google searches for “NewsGator”…what I’m wondering is, why the spike in that particular search today? (Not that I’m complaining :)

If you google for articles indexed in the past few days, it might yield a clue [1]. Since the 3rd, a couple of InfoWorld articles were indexed plus a Microsoft Certified Professional Magazine article and LockerGnome, LarkWare, and O’Reilly.

Go to Faga Finder to finetune your search.
