I came (late) for the bigfoot story when my husband came home and asked if I had seen it. I stayed for the interesting explanation of how you dealt with the high volume. It does occur to me that having people cut and paste means that they see your front page; what you are all about, and therefore is in someways better than a hard link.

Well it's always good to see your traffic spike. Even if your database is having problems keeping up. I had this happen to me on my wii blog, when I did live coverage of E3. My traffic tripled the average just on one day. Talk about wanting to catch lightning in a bottle

It's a shame www.searchingforbigfoot.com wasn't a bit better prepared - I notice they have 509d Bandwidth Exceeded - so thanks for posting the picture here....

This is a great post, I can tell you from experience how much traffic quirky trends based content brings in. Lets say it might even be the life blood of certain startups.

What about the most critical lesson learned? Add 'Big Foot" to the title of every post. Maybe pepper in Yeti every now and then to spice it up. :) kidding aside. Great job with the site. It's amazing how far you've taken it so quickly.
