The time on the screenshot is not related to the end of the match, rather, the first half. Nor is the number anywhere as great as at the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Donovan's goal makes the Internet spike at the second highest amount of traffic in history, beating the announcement of the US 08 President election in the process: http://mashable.com/2010/06/23/usa-vs-algeria-world-cup/ looks like a combination of both games actually. No, only America have any significance to anything on a global level. Well, given the amount of English vs. Americans and the time of the spike, that's pretty much correct. Huh? Aye, but the headline and article read as if Americans had done it all by themselves, with perhaps a slight outside influence by anyone interested in England. I'm just saying the article isn't wrong saying just the US caused the spike, you can tell that by the number of people from North America vs. Europe. But it's not "wrong" in the sense I was talking about, it's the dramatic ending to that match which caused it. The England game ended basically the same time as the US goal, all I can see is a biased headline/news article. The World Cup caused an internet spike. 8 Million in North America 2 Million in Europe 1.6 Rest of world There wouldn't have been 8 million in North America on at that time, nor any other time in the WC if something like that ending didn't happen. Were there spikes when they played England? No. Were there spikes when they played Slovenia? No. Were there spikes when you played Algerie? No. Were there spikes when you played them? No. Easy. The ending of their match caused the spike, and Europe/ROW participated to it for whatever reason they had, be it England or something else. USA! USA! USA! Still think its a shit article. I'm not disputing that the article is shit, just that there wouldn't have been as many Yanks on at that time if it wasn't for the goal, and thus no major spike. Be interesting for a real break down and not just 'North America' - Who were Canada watching? Who were Mexico watching? Argh, I hate blogs passing as news Probably the US, given how the spike came when Donovan scored. Don't recall any other major events taking place at that time. How does he know this though? The goal and end of England game was basically within the same minute. Because the Yanks/Canada/Mexico probably wouldn't have watched England? And the amount vs. Europe at the time? Usually, looking at the net usage index right now, Europe is ahead of the North America. How is this a big deal anyways, man? No idea, I'm totally fed up of discussing it after my first reply Just hate shite articles on blogs. Akamai isn't a shite blog. Their discovery and subsequent press release have been used on a shite blog. The Net Usage Index for News enables users to monitor global news consumption 24 x 7, seeing in real-time the impact of current events on online media consumption. The Index features: * Sociological and geographic trends—who's consuming news when and where * Traffic by number of visitors per minute-viewed by geographic region or global composite * Traffic by percentage above or below average-viewed by geographic region or global composite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between the papers and all the complaining in this thread about the TV commentary, it seems the World Cup coverage in the UK has been extremely poor.
