The crossroads of life and tech

The Gmail Effect

The Gmail EffectWell it’s not quite as staggering as the Digg Effect that can take down web servers in a single afternoon, but I experienced my own little spike in traffic this week.  When Gmail went through their little bout of difficulty last week I let you know about the post-mortem entry on the Official Gmail blog.

I saw a rather significant spike in traffic as millions of Gmail users checked out the blog, and a few hundred of them clicked through on the trackback which showed up as a result of the post.  Go figure.

Aussie Geek Podcast #002

Well the second installment of the AGP is out and this time without the token Canadian!  Dave and Cait had to steer the ship alone this week, but as usual they did an absolutely bang-up job.

Knightwise dropped in with an absolutely spot-on rant about the REAL problem behind email forwards, and Dave managed to cover a Mac app in my absence.  Go give a listen to the Aussie Geek Podcast #002.
