This blogger goes into detail, nice visuals as well, about what happened when he get picked up by Digg, Slashdot, and Boing Boing.

One piece that is interesting is the power of Boing Boing to spread his message to other sites.

Boingboing is a new one on me, but the effects are still being felt as of the 16th of July. The reason? It’s not so much the traffic that comes from Boingboing - though it’s a nice blast. It’s the fact that everyone and their uncle goes off and reposts their content. You then find yourself in a short “quiet period”, before all of those sites then hurl their combined traffic at you in one never-ending cavalcade of Bandwidth pain. Ouch. Ouch in a good way, though.
