Bubbles —a site I am increasingly fond of as it’s turning up some wonderful posts and sites and people— was recently mentioned on Hackernews. I’ve followed Hackernews for a long time as a way to keep some form of view on the tech world (to which I am adjacent) but only check it every week or so. So I missed the moment when it happened, but there were signs… Can you spot when Bubbles got popular and then direct a fair chunk of traffic to my blog?? According to Benjamin Behnke, the Bubbles Bytewizard, the server itself was getting close to its limits, such is the price of (sudden) popularity. It’ll be interesting to see how the long tail of this pans out, how many people will visit Bubbles in the coming weeks as a result of this exposure. Time will tell. Thanks for reading and keeping RSS alive. Visit my site for more.
