Accidentally Dugg?

October 6th, 2006 by Jeremy Toeman

The other day I put up a fairly innocuous post on seeing a prop of the Batmobile from Batman Begins when I was down in LA a few weeks ago. If you read the post all the way through the very end, you’ll notice the final line is “No scoop for JT.”

Well, in a moment of near-perfect irony, a few people out there thought I did see something new!  I think it started here, because the next thing I knew, I was on the front page of Digg with this post.

Here’s the results of my site traffic logs:

Getting Dugg

And since I do my photo hosting and sharing with flickr, here’s my updated “most popular photos” page (note that before this week, the #1 photo was viewed roughly 400 times):

So there you have it - a non-rumor becomes a rumor, and it’s all because of my Internets.  For more good reading on the impact of “getting dugg”, read this article by Ed Kohler.
