On August I discovered my color blindness, and thought it would be a nice article to be written. But I did not think for a second that I'll have more than 70000 visitors in less than 24 hours. The reason was simply DIGG.COM

Digg is a user driven social content website. Ok, so what the heck does that mean? Well, everything on digg is submitted by the digg user community (that would be you). After you submit content, other digg users read your submission and digg what they like best. If your story rocks and receives enough diggs, it is promoted to the front page for the millions of digg visitors to see.

The upper graph is to show you how we got bombarded by visitors on August!
Some people say, your site is nuked by digg, which I believe is true, some sites can't handle 30 minutes from being on digg front page, they collapse from this extreme high traffic or sometimes you see that their bandwidth limit is exceeded!

Thank god our hosting is good; spellcoder can handle more than 3 or 4 blog articles being on the front page of digg in the same time. But, what if my site can not handle digg nukes? Can I ask digg to remove the digg story on their front page because I’m the owner of the site (in case someone else submitted the story) and if they refused, can I sue the person who submitted it on digg without my permission? I believe that digg can add a feature to remove any digg story on their front page upon the site owner request. Some people have websites which is not designed to receive more than 70000 hits per day, which is almost 1 hit per second, your site is nuked by visitors and you'll stay paralyzed for a while and your business might stop!

If your hosting is bad, just add a sign saying, NO DIGGS! :)
