What best describes the "Digg Effect"?
   I put a shovel into the ground?
   It's what happens when many people Digg a story
   It is the sudden influx of traffic to a web server due to a link to the site being on the front page of Digg.com, sometimes bringing the site down
   It is something that either terrifies or delights web administrators

   10's - 100's of hits/min

   When surfing the web, and find something interesting, I immediately post it to Digg
   I submit multiple stories a day

   ~25%

What does it take for a story to move from upcoming to the front page (i.e. to be made popular)?
   Not really sure
   Get a lot of Diggs in a short period of time
   Have the editors approve it, only after it has had many Diggs
   It must get a critical number of Diggs in a specific time period, and have a diversity of Digg types
