Ever since Avalon showed up on the scene, I've noticed that traffic from China was growing fairly rapidly at BTC Guild. Through April, China was generally the #2 most visits, trailing behind the US for BTC Guild. This week has seen a stunning change. I've been reading about the CCTV coverage, and I must say: It looks like Bitcoin gained a lot of new attention, far more than what many people realize.
The following is a graph of the visits to BTC Guild from around the world in the last 3 days:

In the last 3 days, roughly 50% of the traffic to BTC Guild has originated in China, more than double the amount of traffic coming from 2nd place (US). Are any other Bitcoin services seeing similar results over the weekend?
