Wow, huge difference between your numbers and the beard guy. I wonder what you can learn from the difference. What was different between the mentions?

A few differences off the top of my head: - We had the domain http://gri.pe http://gri.pe during the initial showing. From our data, a significant number of people watch The View live, and most watch during its first showing in the US. - The URL is short and it was written on-screen (we always make sure to tell people to spell it out so they don't go to gripe.com). - People likely watch "The View" for some form of education. They likely watch "The Middle" for passive entertainment. I imagine they would be more likely to explore something seen in the former than the latter.

I'm not sure the experiences are that different. mmastrac says his spike was during the broadcast. But the author of the post didn't own the domain during any of the broadcasts. He watched the show a half an hour after it aired in his time zone (Central Time Zone). Meaning by the time he even watched the show it had already aired in every time zone but Pacific and he was watching it concurrently with that audience. Assuming he looked into it, registered the site and got it up within an hour or so he MIGHT have had it up for Alaska and Hawaii but that's about it. And even that's unlikely since Hawaii (http://www.kitv.com/index.html http://www.kitv.com/index.html) starts their primetime at 7pm and Alaska (http://www.kitv.com/index.html http://www.kitv.com/index.html) has only one station that airs programming from ABC, Fox and the CW.

  I registered the domain at about 7:50pm Central time and had content on the site by 8:05; the show had aired at 7:00 Central time, so I was still two hours ahead of the Pacific time zone airtime (10pm Central time).
