Any idea how many of these are uniques or how many registered users the site has? Certainly there are at least about 300 users that check the site many times a day (that's how many hits a post on my blog that got 7 upvotes received).

There are 3037 registered users, and we now get around 3500 unique IPs per day.

Impressive. =)

I bet most people assume it's getting a lot less traffic than that. Perhaps it's the font, or the community? It just "seems" small, even though it's clearly not.

Yup, there's nothing else out there with such a high quality of start-up relevant content. I use news.yc every day, even thought I have no intention of using YC for my start-up.

The big spike is people clicking on reload the day we responded to applications.

Half of that spike was probably me.

25,000 page views on an average is impressive. It also proved wrong some of the prediction that after the competition, the traffic will drop down. The articles and stuffs in here are so good that its better to read it in than to visit multiple sites :)

How much more traffic do you need before the venture capitalists start showing interest?

I'm sure this graph was generated using Lisp, in just 2 lines of elegant code. Those tangled dates on the X axis don't really matter. It's beauty of Lisp, stupid!

Ycombinator News: Soon to be acquired by Google?

Any chance we can also take a peek at the unique daily visitor numbers?

Should we be worried?
