Hello to the 5,000+ consumers who visited today

Mobile Industry Review (“MIR”) is — as you might infer from the name — all about the mobile industry and whilst we do have a small consumer following, the site editorial is generally inaccessible for consumers apart from when we jump into reviews of, for example, the Orange Rio or the Sony Ericsson X10 Mini.

It’s certainly quite exciting when the consumers pick up on something and go nuts on the site, as they have done today. We’ve had over 5,000 consumers (I’m assuming they’re consumers!) hitting the site today to check out the details we published about superstore chain, Tesco, and their iPhone 4 offering.

We’ve never ever had any such traffic from the other things we’ve posted about Tesco Mobile so I wonder if the company has caught the zeitgeist and is about to become the people’s iPhone champion? Good luck to them. Their deals are certainly very appealing, especially the PAYG offer! Read all about it.
