A Mesmerizing Look At NYTimes.com Visitors

This video is hypnotic. A 24 hour snapshot of the NewYorkTimes.com domestic site traffic, both mobile (red) and web (yellow), is made even more interesting when you consider the date. June 25th, 2009 is the day that TMZ.com broke the news of the unexpected death of Michael Jackson (around 5:20 pm). It’s just fascinating to watch as traffic spikes around that time, as well as the swell of commuter driven mobile visits moving from east to west as the work day begins and ends.
