Social Network Effect

Wow, interesting to visualize the effects of social networking. I very recently tweeted in an attempt to harass one of my co-workers (http://twitter.com/damniel/statuses/806693882).
The url in the tweet then got re-tweeted by 2 other people. Within minutes the traffic on my site spiked due to people viewing it ( 5X times the traffic ) . I understand this isn’t exactly a slashdotting, or digg like effect, but it is none the less interesting if you are into stats.
