Ask HN: Why so much "direct" traffic to my blog?
For the past few days, the largest traffic source to my blog has been "(direct) / (none)". However, I'm pretty sure people aren't just typing my URL in their address bar since I have no stable readership. I get most of my traffic from getting up voted on HN / Reddit.<p>What is the likely source of this traffic? A desktop Twitter client perhaps? A desktop RSS feed reader? Don't those apps send a HTTP referrer?
