Who are Hitwise? Is This Accurate?

In case you haven’t heard of them before, Hitwise is a company who buy anonymous data from internet service providers. They look at the browsing habits of 25-million internet users (25 million!) and they record all the pages you visit and all the terms you search for in Google. So this is pretty accurate stuff.

Good to see the NC10 becoming as popular as it deserves!
