House Of Representatives Is Among Top 10 ISPs Visiting Isthegovernmentshutdown.com

We're five hours away from what might bethe first government shutdown since 1995. Thereforeit comes as no surprise that people are checking Isthegovernmentshutdown.com and that the site, created by WSJ editor Zach Seward to keep us posted on the furlough's status, would experience a spike in traffic.What does come as a surprise is that a good number of the visits came in through the House of Representatives ISP, pushing the congressional body, which also happens to be the battleground that might instigate the shutdown, into the top ten service providers on Google Analytics. Other government agencies like the Senate, the Navy, Homeland Security, the Justice Department and Health and Human Services were also in the top 50 in terms of referral traffic.
