I guess it's best these high-profile tweeple do not retweet any links to my poor little blog.... I wonder if coralizing a website could really help against this effect. Proxy servers are designed just to take the load protecting the server behind it. It would be nice to test this and have results posted somewhere... Nice.

The link was shared with tinyurl. Anyway, we're doing some traffic analysis on retweets this week and we'll post our findings. Also, we *did not* mention the site on Mashable.com - only the Twitter stream - crediting Twitter with the traffic is accurate. Eric,

The link spreads rapidly with several users retweeting the same and results in more small traffic spikes.” I call this as Scobleizer effect :P

Either the dude's blog is held together with duct tape or (more likely) Mashable (the site) was responsible for the heavy traffic. Site owner Michael Litman's tweet seems to confirm the latter.

I've since installed memcache to help with traffic in future, but you can bet I'll be cautious about linking to my own site in future!
