update - netcraft reports:
It’s not often that a hiring announcement knocks a web site offline. But the blogosphere is abuzz with the news that Microsoft blogger Robert Scoble is leaving to take a position at a video blogging start-up. The news has triggered a burst of traffic to Scoble’s new employer, PodTech, whose web site is struggling to handle all that link love. The Podtech.net web site was unavailable for several for part of Sunday and offline again this morning.
