On Alexa.org, try the Traffic rankings, comparing WP with the BBC site 
bbc.co.uk, and looking at the Page Views tab: like

.

Then since Christmas WP and the Beeb are almost spookily tracking each 
other; and not just in the weekday/weekend fluctuations.

Any idea of what this might mean?  The numbers could be broken; or the 
demographics match amazingly over the population from which these things are 
calculated.

It could mean that WP became a household word in December; in that target 
group.

One to watch.
