Yesterday, Brian Mark made this site popular. How you say? Well, he submitted my post named Comcast Plays Porn Instead of Cartoon on Disney Channel to Digg.
Then someone told me it became popular. I had no idea he submitted it until it became popular. What I mean by "became popular" is that it was promoted to the Digg.com home page. Then it took off.
Today it has these many Diggs:
That is a lot of Diggs.
Yesterday I received over 45,000 unique visitors from Digg from it. Which lead to about 90 comments.
Not only did it make the home page, but made the "Top 10 in All Topics" section, which is big.
So thank you Brian for making this blog popular. I normally get about 600 uniques per day, so that is a 44,400 increase. :)
Comments
That was my first "Serious" submission. I'd submitted a couple before to see how the process worked, but this was the first one with any real content that had a chance.
Glad to see your site didn't crash under all the traffic. :)

It would be interesting to see if AdSense jumped yesterday as a result of all the visits. Care to share, Barry?

Congrats! You broke through the Digg HD-DVD story clutter.
