Grey's Anatomy dominates Facebook traffic

In case you ever wondered which was more popular, Grey's Anatomy or Facebook, the answer is Grey's.

Dustin Moskovitz (a Facebook co-founder) posted on the Facebook developers blog about Facebook traffic and how it drops massively just before Grey's Anatomy starts every week. This is incredible. It just goes to show that people can live in two separate worlds, neither necessarily reality, but separate nonetheless.
The graph below clearly illustrates the massive decrease in active users as Grey's starts. Firstly I think that it is incredible that Facebook has so many users that they can see this kind of massive drop and secondly I find it amazing that Grey's Anatomy can pull almost 200 000 active users away from their PC's simultaneously. Amazing.
