digg effect

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.

The Digg Effect
The results of having your article, video, song or photos make the front page of the social news website, Digg.com. This often results in a server crash although many bloggers see this as a trophy.
Example:
"We just got hit by the Digg effect...15,000 hits before our server crashed!".

"My article 'Man gets eaten by man hungry penguin' got the Digg effect...over 35,000 page views in 2 hours!".
