Last week, I wrote a story that in 24 hours hit the frontpages of both Digg and Slashdot, with Blog related firepower provided by the mighty Boingboing.net (ranked number 1 in Technorati, when not knocked off the top by Spamblogs).
What would the overall effect be of such a concentrated assault of traffic? Well, let’s check out the main players first:
Digg.com: Ranked 107 in Alexa.
Slashdot: Ranked 172 in Alexa.
Boingboing: Ranked 1,161 in Alexa.
A rather interesting write up about this persons experience with modern blogging. It’s intriguing to consider that Digg and Boingboing haven’t even been around for very long and yet they can generate enough traffic today to bring practically any web server to a screeching halt.
