Looks like the Podcasters mailing list is seeing a good uptick in traffic since the release of iTunes
Several things to note:
* The data is as of 6/6/2005 10pm PST. The numbers may flatten out as the month goes on.
* The data includes the 4th of July holiday weekend in the USA
My personal observation has been a noticable increase in traffic on the list, with an unusual number of "Help, I'm a newbie" type posts. (In addition to the debates about Podcast Alley and iTunes caching files) Looks like the iTunes debut, coupled with the numerous stories in the mainstream press about iTunes/Podcasting are starting to draw new users (publishers and listeners)
