The Slashdot Effect - Dynamoo.com: "I recently had the honour of having a site featured on Slashdot - one of the world's biggest online communities with over half a million members. Slashdot is so popular that sites often get an enormous amount of traffic as a result - called the Slashdot Effect - and this can often take a smaller sites offline, especially if they're graphically rich, in which case it becomes Slashdotted.
Being features on Slashdot is both an honour and a curse. The story I was in wasn't a particularly popular story as these things go, only a medium amount of comments. However, the traffic was still significant, and the Slashdot after-effects are worth noting."
