The Power of Scoble

[Update: John's site was back up about half an hour after I posted this. I guess I have healing..., errr, fixing powers...]

[Update 2: Exactly 1 hour and 10 minutes after I posted this, Scoble himself showed up for comment. Apparently, there is true to the old wisdom that knowing the name of somebody gives you power over him!]

While taking my daily portion of Scobleizer, I noticed a link to John Dowell's blog. Heading over there, I was greeted by warm “Internal Server Error”.

Bloggers, be afraid of The Power of Scoble...

(I just hope he doesn't link to this post... :-))

Sorry, but if someone's server is crashing from the load generated by Scoble's blog, then they've got something seriously misconfigured. Scoble's got a decent readership, sure, but nothing like enough to crash a well-configured machine, even on middling hardware. Just my 2 cents. :-)

While I agree with GAD, I still think it's appropriate to coin a term like "Slashdotted" :)

You've been Scobleized?

This thread makes me laugh!

Yeah, if my 2000 readers make someone crash, that'd be the day.

Actually, the problem is likely at our end... many of the Macromedia staff blogs are hosted on a company-owned machine off the main network, and it has been failing lately. It will eventually go onto the main Macromedia site -- right now we just have a redirect from the main servers -- but you're right, it's funky when it goes down.
