Whereas virtually no one went online for war news back in 1991, news sites can hardly keep up with the traffic in 2003. MSNBC's site has gotten downright turgid; it experienced a 114% surge in visitors Monday, compared with other recent Mondays. Time.com is having a time dealing with all the surfers -- its Web site got about 228% more popular, while Reuters.com saw a nearly 400% spike. But the cyber-champ has to be the online arm of the al-Jazeera Arabic television network. Its traffic jumped 679%, an increase that included a 2,230% spurt in the number of American surfers clicking in, although DoS attacks, as well as a domain "hackjacking," have since turned Aljazeera.net to mush.
