    Digg Effect

    Sources
    "What the digg effect can do to your site." This is from a cartoon on http://www.projectcartoon.com/create/.
    Comment
    The cartoon makes fun of (in a really witty way) of the relationsships between business consultants and their clients (and others involved). Different pictures describe the different phases of the project..

    What's the digg effect?

    thanks!

    digg.com is a website where people can "digg" (verb) articles, etc. (if I got it right synonymous with "giving kudos"). So it would simply be translatesd as "Digg-Effekt", i.e. the effect, that including digg-able content on your website can have (?).

    Derived from slashdot effect, an insane increase in traffic after a link to a news article is promoted to the digg.com front page. This is sort of like an unintentional DDOS attack, but sometimes the increased traffic (and ad exposure) causes webmasters and bloggers to post links to their sites on digg.
    The digg effect will usually not have much of an effect on larger websites but small websites may be shut down quickly due to the server not being able to cope with the high amount of requests or because all of their bandwidth is consumed.
    I wanted ad clicks so I submitted my copied blog post to digg. It got promoted and my website was shut down due to the digg effect.

    = der Effekt, dass nach einem bestimmten neuen Eintrag auf einer Webseite auf einmal alle möglichen Leute einander darauf aufmerksam machen ("Hey, dig this!") und der Traffic kurzfristig wahnsinnig zunimmt, bis der Server in die Knie geht.

    urbandictionary, I've heard about it and it really seems to be very useful. I wasn't aware that there's a generic term "digg effect"...
