Slightly Dugg
You probably know about Digg and the Digg Effect, which is slightly similar to being "slashdotted".
Thankfully, that hasn't happened to me, but I was brushed by it. Today I read a Digg article about a "hollow screen" image - the trick of putting an image on a screen which makes it appear that the screen is transparent. It's on flickr, and it's quite a good picture, and one of the comments on that picture pointed to another image.
I have a "hollow screen" picture, which I made nearly two years ago, and this morning it had 121 views. So I added another comment pointing at my picture, and now - just 8 hours later - it has 1497 views and an extra comment.
Astonishing.
