Unusual Thursday on NewsOK.com

NewsOK.com gets really good traffic on a daily basis.

But we got an extra boost on Thursday.

It started when we posted our article about Chip Harrison and his unfortunate run in with an Oklahoma City police officer.

It was an interesting read, that’s for sure.

And it went viral – first on the Drudge Report, and then on Yahoo! Buzz.

Traffic soared for that article far beyond what is normal for the daily NewsOK audience.  We doubled our normal Thursday traffic.

We had more than 1,400 comments on that article, alone

That’s good – and it’s another example of our new world. Our audience isn’t just Oklahomans or people interested in Oklahoma. It’s the entire world – and they can all join in to our conversation.

We will continue to focus on news and information as it relates to Oklahoma and Oklahomans. But we are always prepared to host a story that has world-wide implications, interest and audience.
