[Air-l] Internet traffic on Sept. 11

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. Ryan J. Burns, Ph.D. rburns1@tulane.edu Visiting Instructor of Media Studies Department of Communication Tulane University
