Most of the site's on digg's homepage at any given time aren't down, it's really only when the page being linked to is on a shared machine or has a big download or movie or something that maxes bandwidth. Amit Yeah, this is our 9th or 10th digg homepage appearance, and it’s never really put a big load on the machine. Most of the site’s on digg’s homepage at any given time aren’t down, it’s really only when the page being linked to is on a shared machine or has a big download or movie or something that maxes bandwidth.

I can't tell if all those sites who suffer the digg effect go down because their stories get substantially more traffic than ours, or if they're just on REALLY weak servers.

To add to your data, I just wanted to point out that we started publishing our individual article view numbers last night (data has been aggregated for a while now), which in some ways might help correspond the lifehacker stuff to the number of diggs that your article got on digg. To view, hover over the permalink icon on the article itself (or in the post listings on the front page) and you should see the view count ("Views: ###"). Looking at it right now, the post on lifehacker for the photo pop outs has over 2000 pageviews (but oddly, no comments)! Really interesting!
