Use Alexa's comparison feature to compare
wikipedia.org and

they seem to mirror each other quite closely in terms of the sawtooth

Interestingly,
youtube.com shows a sawtooth pattern that's almost
completely the inverse of that of
google.com and
wikipedia.org. This
apparently reflects a distinction between "serious research and
information" sites that are used at work / school (or that one can at
least get away with surfing at such environments even if it's really
for fun) versus "frivolous entertainment" sites that are mostly used
at home in one's free time.
Wikipedia does not generally have audio. A person who surreptitiously
uses the computer at work to surf the internet cannot risk disrupting
the office with the unexpectedly loud sound track of YouTube video. :-)
