Live Woopra Video During a Digg Front-page

Using Woopra, August 20th, 2008 by John P.

If you ask me, this is the pinnacle of Woopraness. Getting to watch what happens during a Digg event when your article hits the home page.

This live stream was taken from GeekBrief.TV when Cali and Neal announced a new copy and paste app for the iPhone. I guess this was big news in the iPhone community, because it made the homepage of Digg in record time with a massive number of Diggs.

Here is a video of what it looked like when everything was going down:

    Wow! Over 13000 daily visits. Good to see that the woopra servers could handle it :)

  2. Jeremy Says:

    That is just too cool… I have always wondered what it would look like to have hundreds of constant visitors and now I know. Great inspiration!

    @Jace - for testing purposes we have actually allowed a couple of clients who have as many as 1.2 MILLION page views per day! So, although it is a lot of traffic the system will easily handle Diggs. ;-)

    @Jeremy - Yes, I think its very inspiring to watch a Digg taking place. It gets you really excited, and makes you want to do it more!

    It’s a seriously impressive piece of software and being able to show this kind of detail.

    Keep up the good work.

    Please let Cali and Neal know that their site is down. Thank you for letting us know. They are getting a lot of attention on this, much deserved.

    Hello guys,

    Pageviews are limited to 10000 (10K).
    How can I modify that?

    Best Regards,
    kisro

    – I found an explanation on the forum board.

  13. Lorelle VanFossen Says:

    @ kisro:

    Glad you found the answer. We are limited to 10K due for beta testing purposes. It also helps us to cut down on server costs during the testing phase. Thanks for understanding.

    I got featured on digg front page and it was brilliant to sit back and watch, although hit the 10,000 limit very quick :(

  15. Jonathan Says:

    That’s really, really cool. Like I said, Woopra is the Chuck Norris of Analytics!

    The audio in this video is kind of annoying though.. lol.
