Between edmund's
post and
mine the views total increased by 409,397, giving a somewhat unbelievable average of a little over 719.5* views a day. By today's total value of 995,558 (using 17:00, my time, as the reference) that average is now a gnat's whatsit short of 720, making my guess of the 5
th appear a little overly optimistic. However, the daily views totals are quite volatile/dynamic; the past 4 days seeing totals as little as 228 and as high as 1396. I think, therefore, that it's still possible for the 3
rd to be in with a shout.
*My constantly checking T.W.A.T. for my stats (and, indeed, this thread) does introduce a slight bias in the totals, but definitely not to the extent of adding several hundred views per day.
