Sudden Popularity Syndrome
Sudden Popularity Syndrome: "Tech Recipes" writes of what happens when your website is recommended on the front page of digg.com, and how this compares with the Slashdot effect. Meanwhile there's a parallel discussion of gaming Memeorandum -- or, more specifically, gaming tech.memeorandum.com, which appears to have a very different social dynamic than the original version about general current events.
