Digg Effect
May 25th, 2006
Hello to everyone visiting from Digg.com today. Dreamhost has set a connection limit to our site to allow only 25 users every 5 seconds in an effort to keep their webserver from crashing.
If the site doesn’t load properly, or you get a “Service Temporarily Unavailable” message, please be patient and try again in a minute or two. If you’re here to see the new Hoverbox Menu article, the nice folk at digg have also mirrored the page.
If this is your first time visiting, Top 5 Posts at Design Meme is a good article for reviewing some of the things I’ve posted here in the last few months.

Yeah, the Digg effect is pretty harsh on web servers. Nice article you had there, so I’m assuming it gots TONS of hits.
