LGF is running a bit slowly at the moment because, in addition to our normal traffic and yesterday’s link at the New York Times (which is still generating hits), our post about the New Year’s Intifada in France made it onto the front page of digg.com. You can see all the diggers coming in at our referrers page.

UPDATE at 1/2/07 5:53:22 pm:

Watch the LGF haters starting their attempts to bury the post, demonstrating the biggest flaw in the “user moderated” (read: mob rule) networking model: digg - 400 Cars Torched in France for New Year’s.
