What happens when Stephen Fry tweets a link to your blog

A very large thank you to Stephen Fry for tweeting my Movember post a couple of weeks ago. For a day and a bit, traffic went absolutely crazy. And then stopped. It was all very odd. Also, a big thanks to those who chipped in to the Movember fund as a result – you're brillig. It was a jolly nice way to kick off a jolly nice holiday.

I got a spike like that (although not quite so spiky) when I posted photos from a conference I attended and three people with follower counts in the thousands retweeted... http://www.flickr.com/photos/funnyunc/5431484823

I love spikes like that, though. Sometimes people end up following afterwards because they're amused and enjoy the writing style (I know that I did).
