By far the best write up I have seen on the net about last night. I watched it happen and it was amazing. Literally at a few times Digg itself was Dugg to the point of being VERY slow.

While it was childish, it was impressive to watch. Great write up, thanks. :)

I was fascinated watching the response last night… until I got goastse’ed off a link on the front page. *sigh*

Has a critical mass of users ever done such a good job (legally, no DDOS here) taking over a massively popular website before? It was very impressive.
