A couple of days ago I stumbled upon a great article by Matt on his Happy Antipodean bog:

Australian business response to carbon price: "Wut?"

After watching page views climb quickly over the next 10 hours, Matt tweeted a link to another interesting article on what resulted from the activity quite a number of people had generated:

Thanks to those who helped ... and look what happened! 

Well, guess what -

Another article, one I posted, "Direct Action hits brick wall" received similar concentrated exposure over the last 24-36 hours.
Thank you to the many tweeters who generated a lot of page views to the article. Nearly 370 pageviews now.
