The effect of being Boing Boinged

The other day Xeni Jardin mentioned my band's release of sheet music (along with audio files) using a Creative Commons license in the extremely popular Boing Boing weblog (I believe this to be the first use of CC licenses for the sheet music for original compositions).

The band's web site had been bubbling along at about 200 page requests a day. On Monday, the day we got mentioned in Boing Boing, we received 2,456 page requests! Aha! Finally, our hour of fame!

But by Tuesday we were back down to 648 requests. I guess we've had our fifteen minutes for now.

The Boing Boing post is here.
