Wikpedia and current events = major traffic
Posted by Jay Walsh on June 25, 2009
Our CTO Brion Vibber offered a fascinating post on the Foundation’s Tech Blog today, highlighting the incredible traffic spike and related problems caused by the news of singer Michael Jackson’s reported death.
Expect the tech blog to be updated as other server developments unfold, and of course the Wikipedia article to go through some fascinating evolution and discussion.

This is an awesome and interesting post, how ironic that MJ leaves and temporarily takes down Wikipedia with him!
“Internal Server Error”. Fascinating indeed.
