twenty billiondunno. The traffic goes up & down depending on whether the viral stuff is popular that day. Buffyswear, catgame, bunnygame, kill your friends and others all help to bring random people to the site. But the email is really important, as these are a small amount of users who are more than casusally interested in new web stuff. This means you can burst web traffic onto a project, and if it's got the X then it's enough for it to reach round the world.

My point's more thatI myself read it on line each week, same with NTK. I subscribe to popbitch because there is no other way of seeing it.
I guess if it wasn't published on-line, then more people would subscribe to get it by e-mail.

fair enough ...... i went through this debate when me/cal/denise put the site together. Dunno know. As it's worked out, the newsletter is important, but it's not the product like it is with PB. We have the same elements, (board, newsletter & front page) but we are wieghted towards the front page being a daily experience for casual users.
