- Spazkake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yea, boingboing has the "boing effect" or a site can get "boinged"
- legomaniac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0and the diggers once again succesfully own the server into submission
- unclejesse0, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Holy crap, the animation takes waaaaaaaaaay too long.
- JStrider, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0a pretty cool idea... i think it could be implemented better though,
- spyhunter, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The typophile smaller image project was cooler.

- smickles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0There has been a lot of pixel flips....
- Midnightbrewer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Interesting idea, but tedious! It'd be interesting to see how accurate the final image is.
- Flashman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0People have NFI what Australia looks like.
- thecolorme, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Doesn't work in Safari. Was able to see it in Firefox though...
It's like the world drawn by a 4 year old. Beautiful. I want to live there. - thetbad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0very creative use of the I-Net!
- ForbesBingley, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0The world designed by proxy.
How truly horrendous... - deut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I didn't think the map thing was that good. However, the rest of the site is very cool. DIGG for the site.
- simpleid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0+Digg for the site, not world thing
- SirSid, on 05/27/2009, -0/+0The map was cool and so was the rest of it. Good work
+Digg - Kickasso, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0way to low resolution, to few pixels. but great idea though, dugg for that.
- live2die, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It's not Dugged
Dugg is alreay the past tense of digg - ghelton, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0digg effect
- kejistan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Guess who's site just got digg dugg?
- dragoonz, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2"There is *no* Digg effect, people! We don't call the Doppler effect different things based on who observes it, and we don't call the Slashdot effect different things based on who causes it!"
A scientific effect and a social effect are two completely different things. It's commonplace that when a high-traffic website takes down a different website, they call it the (website) effect.
Also, I seriously doubt slashdot was the first website to create such an effect. - masterzora, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0@dragoonz: I never said that it doesn't take down servers, I'm just saying it's "server take down ability" isn't noteworthy enough.
- geemaa, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0owned! by digg of course
- dragoonz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Also, just because digg can't take down the big servers, it's no reason to say it hasn't taken down servers.
- masterzora, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0@dragoonz:
Doesn't really matter if it's scientific or social. An effect is an effect and is equally universal. Slashdot may not be the first to cause it, but it was the first to have the effect named after it.
Besides, Digg may be working its way up, but it's still not notable enough to have its own effect. At least, not until it can crash some of the larger servers that Slashdot has been able to do. - Dabellah, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0@masterzora
It's plenty noteworthy. It's just a title to indicate that the link from digg to whatever site has been crashed from. When a site is "dugg" or given the "digg effect" title, it's simply saying "digg users did this" which is nothing short of a fact, therefor earning its right to exist. Besides, in the art of English anyone wanting to create a word and apply it to today's society has all the rights in the world to do it. Authors make up words all the time (as do we) =) - thecoolestcow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0From comments on the site:
"Cool

This is a fantastic idea. I am guessing that it will coalesce into a North America centric map since the languge of the page will skew it towards people of that geographic area."
What a douchebag. Do all people who don't live in America think we're that dumb and retarded? What kind of stupid logic is that guy using? - dragoonz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0@Mr. AOL Police
You don't make the rules, the collective conciousness does. - masterzora, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0@Dabellah:
If I notice the pitch of a car changing as it comes towards me and drives away, do I call it the Master Zora Effect? After all, I'm observing it, not Doppler. Then why would I call this the Digg Effect just because Digg caused it? - DarkAX, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1Hey masterzora, you're a ***** douchebag
- sporkey, on 10/12/2007, -2/+0host all your videos on http://megashares.com - its way more reliable than most web hosts.
- masterzora, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1There is *no* Digg effect, people! We don't call the Doppler effect different things based on who observes it, and we don't call the Slashdot effect different things based on who causes it!
Oh, and this isn't tech news anyway, so report++ - linus7, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0how can you have such crap bandwith and servers that it just goes down like that...pathetic man...
