I just got an email from someone that decided to digg the post on my blog about our trip to go install the new digital Point servers yesterday. Apparently they thought it was funny If you have time check it out and DIGG IT! You can see the digg by clicking the link below: Somebody diggs my post Their description on digg was: "Blogger Dude helps a friend move almost $100,000 of loaded Dell Blade Servers (20 dual-core 2.8Ghz Xeon processors , 120GB RAM, and 20 146GB 15,000 rpm drives) into data center and writes it up as if it was for his site which handles thirty (3-0!) unique visitors a day. DIGG it and show him some real traffic." It's pretty crazy, I just checked my Geovisitors and it looks like I have had more visitors in the last 30 minutes than I had in the first three months of my blog!
Pretty easy actaully... I'll teach you right now! Step 1) Secure the equipment to the rack in the data center Step 2) Slide the blades in the Chasis Step 3) Plug in all the cables Step 4) Plug the Chasis into a 220V outlet Step 5) Flip the power switch!
The DIGG story now has 29 DIGGS and 6 comments - gotta be close to the front page - lets see what Julien's geovisitors would say when it hits that! ;-)
Doesn't look like its going to happen... I think it has been burried because I can no longer find it by searching digg.com (unless I include buried stories in my search). Is there any way to tell if and why a story is buried? All I can tell is that it received 30 diggs but how do you see who baried it and for what reason... Maybe if I get a few more diggs it will no longer be buried??
Anybody know why this digg seems to have been burried? Is there any way to digg it back up? Thanks everyone for the digg!
I only asked people to digg it after it appeared on digg.com but I guess I shouldn't do that . I suppose anyone who gets a post on digg should just just tell people to "check out their post on digg.com"
Lol, i wonder if they check the referrer? I mean, if you see the referrer is digitalpoint then you can assume its in a thread asking for diggs however, isn't a story buried if it doesnt amass a certain amount of links in a certain time-span?
