Happy Anniversary >>

Well, yesterday I thought I'd try posting an article on digg.com to see how it would do.  I was ecstatic when I reached almost 20 diggs by day end.  The article wasn't great by any means, I was simply testing the waters.  Well over night, it jumped to over 250 diggs and actually made it to the front page.  Wow!  My sites traffic as of 11am was over 10,000 hits.  My normal is around 200 to 300.  Unfortunately, my ad revenue still won't buy me a cup of coffee this morning.

As for the actual article, I think most people missed the point but at least the question is in their head.  Hopefully when they run into a similar problem they'll remember it and come up with a much better solution.

Anyway, I just digg digg.com now.

UPDATE: Well it's day 2 and I've leveled off at 268 diggs, not too shabby.  Todays traffic is no where near 10k but it is much higher and I'm expecting to break 1000 by days end.
