But, since the article was from slashdot,
I figured a picture of the dreaded slashdot effect was somewhat relavant.

Picture and tiny text link to article about the slashdot effect.

At 2/10/2006 9:45 AM, James said...: but actually, I suppose my question is this: what is the dreaded slashdot effect?
At 2/10/2006 9:56 AM, Matt said...: Slashdot, is a huge geek news site, when they post articles that link to other sites, those sites get a HUGE ammount of traffic. Many sites are unable to handle such a large influx of traffic and because of it, the system will stop functioning.

I have a link on the little text that explains it better.
