Engadget: 10 million Page Views on iPhone Day
Jason Calacanis told Michael Arrington of TechCrunch, that Engadget had 10 million page views on Tuesday when they covered the iPhone announcement - ten times their normal traffic of a million or so page views per day.
"Engadget, the top ranked blog on Technorati, can no longer really be put in the same pack as other big blogs. Putting this into perspective, that’s about three months worth of traffic for TechCrunch in one day on Engadget.
... Just about everyone that cares knew exactly what was being announced at MacWorld just moments after it was said, and they got the news from Engadget or another blog. Pictures and video were available real time as well. By the time television and newspapers got to the story, the really interested readers were already on to the next thing."
