About SpikeToday

SpikeToday is a site about virality itself. We publish pages on whatever is going viral or trending right now, in any field: world events, tech, entertainment, sports, gaming, money, science, internet culture and products. We also publish predictions about what is likely to spike next.

Attention is short-lived, and SpikeToday is built around that. Pages go up while a topic is spiking, and the home page always shows the newest first.

Dates and times

Every page shows when it was published and, when it changes meaningfully, when it was updated. All dates and times on SpikeToday are in UTC.

How we make our pages

• Sources first. Every fact links to its source, and we prefer the official one: the organiser, the government agency, the company's own announcement.
• Checked before publishing. Every new page, and every update of substance, is checked against its sources in a separate review before it goes live. Photos are checked too.
• Kept current. Pages about a date or an event are updated as news comes in, on the day itself, and again afterwards with what happened.
• Corrections. When we find a mistake, we fix the page and change its "updated" time. To report one, see the contact page.
• No paid placement. Pages are not sponsored, and links are not paid for.
