Quantcast actually has FriendFeed traffic way up since the Facebook acquisition.

There is no need to use bit.ly on HN. http://siteanalytics.compete.com/posterous.com+friendfeed.com/ http://siteanalytics.compete.com/posterous.com+friendfeed.co... http://traffic.alexa.com/graph?&w=400&h=220&o=f&c=1&y=p&b=ffffff&r=6m&u=friendfeed.com&&u=posterous.com&#38 http://traffic.alexa.com/graph?&w=400&h=220&o=f&...; http://www.quantcast.com/friendfeed.com http://www.quantcast.com/friendfeed.com

+1 and Thank You. I mean really, who uses Google Trends for traffic analysis anyway? Measuring first time users I could see. But why would regular users of the service search for FriendFeed on Google? Or here's one. Is it possible that FriendFeed's search volume went down because every news outlet and their brother covered the Facebook acquisition (and offered a link to the service in those articles so people didn't have to search for it)?

  Perhaps you haven't watched the less internet-experienced people surf the web. People do search for sites that they have already visited.

Wait, doesn't that Compete graph show FriendFeed dropping significantly and being overtaken by Posterous in the last month?

  It does now. I posted just before Compete released their September data... so I was looking at August. Seems I jumped the gun a bit. ;)

I am curious, why did you use URL shortner?
- catone 17y ago
  Because some of the URLs were multiple lines long, and I didn't realize that HN would auto truncate. Just wanted to save any horizontal scrolling. ;)

Just to update my comment -- seems I posted a few hours before Compete released Sept. data. And now indeed Posterous has surged past FriendFeed. I stand corrected. ;)
