The internet feel a little slower lately? Well,
according to this article, it is because so many people are going online to
search things related to the current economic crisis that it is slowing things
down all over the place. Visits to websites such as the business-centric
Wall Street Journal and economy-focused Yahoo Finance set new records as the US
Congress grappled with its 700 billion dollar plan to stop credit markets from
imploding. Internet tracker comScore says visits to www.gasbuddy.com, which
steers drivers to stations featuring low fuel prices, are up nearly 30 percent
and it expects to report spikes in traffic to finance and bargain-hunter
websites when September statistics are calculated later this week.
