All This Is That Farked!

Our article on photographs from Mars yesterday was Farked. What does that mean? Instead of a couple hundred readers all day, a couple hundred a minute show up. It's not like they all become fans and regulars. They don't; Farkers tend to look at the article and then jump back to Fark.com. But just the fact ten thousand people show up is pretty cool. And Fark is an extremely viral site...when you DO get Farked, dozens of other sites (like Reddit, Useless Junk, Digg, etc.) also point their readers to the story, and then some of those readers flag the story). It's happened a couple times before, and it's always welcome. If you own your own domain, you can get hit with some steep charges by your ISP. But if you're on Blogger, no problem...they like all that traffic.
