The Gawker Effect...

wow wow wow. A little behind-the-scenes look at Daily Heights here. That traffic spike below means we just got linked by Gawker. Just to put that in perspective, it's usually a good day when we get 100 visitors per hour. We usually get about 50-90 visitors per hour during the day, and upwards of 1000 per day.

Congrats! I got linked to by Gawker once. I think I got over 1500 hits that day. I also got sudden performance anxiety and for the first time had nothing to say. Which story did Gawker pick up?

Car bomb on Dean Street (scroll down; it's about halfway down the page now).

So did Curbed

I can't see the gif in your initial post - but that's awesome. a link from gawker is a very big deal. congrats.

Now just sit back and enjoy the guest troll posts as they roll in. We have two so far, getting bitchy over the usage of 'car bomb'.
