Grozne sekte koje vrebaju dječicu na Internetu su proširile svoj
utjecaj, a google i twitter, koji u podrumu drže male sektašiće koji
vrijednim ručicama committaju upite premorili su se i sad su silni dobri
ljudi, kojima je bilo od životne važnosti da ti servisi pouzdano rade,
imali ozbiljnih problema. Tko zna koliki u Iranu su poginuli zato što
nije radio twitter preko kojeg komuniciraju. Tu bi trebalo nekoga
prokazati, treba o tome pisati članke, forwardati nekome, uzbuniti
vlasti. Nema veze što je bio feeding frenzy, pa i onaj luđak Danijel
veli da feeding frenzy može srušiti bilo koji sustav i da je nemoguće
nešto dovoljno dimenzionirati da podnese takve uvjete. To se svi
izmotavaju, a znamo mi što je prava istina, to su sve internetske sekte
krive. Svi oni hoće vaše novce i vašu djecu. Pazite se ljudi.

LONDON, England (CNN) -- How many people does it take to break the
Internet? On June 25, we found out it's just one -- if that one is
Michael Jackson.

 The biggest showbiz story of the year saw the troubled star take a good
slice of the Internet with him, as the ripples caused by the news of his
death swept around the globe.

"Between approximately 2:40 p.m. PDT and 3:15 p.m. PDT today, some
Google News users experienced difficulty accessing search results for
queries related to Michael Jackson," a Google spokesman told CNET, which
also reported that Google News users complained that the service was
inaccessible for a time. At its peak, Google Trends rated the Jackson
story as "volcanic."

As sites fell, users raced to other sites: TechCrunch reported that TMZ,
which broke the story, had several outages; users then switched to Perez
Hilton's blog, which also struggled to deal with the requests it received.

CNN reported a fivefold rise in traffic and visitors in just over an
hour, receiving 20 million page views in the hour the story broke.

Twitter crashed as users saw multiple "fail whales" -- the illustrations
the site uses as error messages -- user FoieGrasie posting, "Irony: The
protesters in Iran using Twitter as com are unable to get online because
of all the posts of 'Michael Jackson RIP.' Well done." The site's status
blog said that Twitter had had to temporarily disable its search
results, saved searches and trend topics.

Wikipedia saw a flurry of activity, with close to 500 edits made to
Jackson's entry in less than 24 hours. CNET reported that by 3:15 p.m.
PT, Wikipedia seemed to be "temporarily overloaded."

 The Los Angeles Times, the first news organization to confirm Jackson's
death, suffered outages. The site also reported that AOL's instant
messenger service had been hit, quoting an AOL statement that said, "AIM
was down for approximately 40 minutes this afternoon." The statement
said, "Today was a seminal moment in Internet history. We've never seen
anything like it in terms of scope or depth."

That was backed up by AOL consumer adviser Regina Lewis, who said that,
although the numbers weren't in yet, the day should prove a historic
milestone for mobile Internet traffic.
