Interesting...could someone who's been around longer than I have take a stab at assigning some of those peaks to real-world events? I'm particularly interested in the peak near the end of February, and the following trough.

I think it was an O'Reilly blog post about news.yc.

pg, did you create news.yc as a long term solution or is this something temporary (just for the startup school and YC applicants)? It's great to see the site's enormous growth. Unfortunately, there is a good chance the traffic will drop sharply following April.

*ill still be around, though. YC can't get rid of me that easily*

Long term, certainly. There are a lot more features coming.
