The Top Videos on the Internet

****I apologize for the bad formatting, Blogger has a few issues with rendering tables correctly****

The Top Ten Videos from
Youtube
Dailymotion
Metacafe
Veoh
Aol Video


These websites had the simplest ways
to calculate the top ten videos. We found these videos by using
a “*” or “%” in the search engine or the website’s own popularity
function. We only took the ones that did not seem hacked (if it
did not have any comments or very few comments for the number of views,
then the video in question was considered hacked).

Stages of the Digg/Slashdot Effect

"The Slashdot (Digg) effect, also known as slashdotting, is the phenomenon of a popular website linking to a smaller site, causing the smaller site to slow down or even temporarily close due to the increased traffic...Typically, less robust sites are unable to cope with the huge increase in traffic and become unavailable – common causes are lack of sufficient data bandwidth, servers that fail to cope with the high number of requests, and traffic quotas. "

-Wikipedia



Stage 1: You post something

Stage 2: Someone (perhaps yourself) notices your blog and decides to put it on Digg


Stage 3: Visitors like your post and digg it.


Stage 4: More visitors really like your post and digg it.
Stage 5: Your post becomes a phenomenon...


Stage 6: Visitors begin to see this very frequently, traffic exceeds server capacity.


Stage 7: The Server Shuts Down


Stage 8: High traffic causes servers to start on fire.


Stage 9: Eventually your post causes rolling brown-outs due to the lack of power support for the server

Stage 10: The final stage includes widespread panic, looting, and few survivors.
