I think it's particularly interesting to watch some internet event go "mainstream" and watch even large services like reddit strain under the load. Put some perspective around how many people true mainstream media services reach.

I'm very interested in how quickly they manage to bring it back up. ... so naturally I'll refresh it every few seconds.

Can't create an account now ... grr ... and I really wanted to ask a question :(

Weird... I am guessing that if Obama was going to be on Reddit, they would have given the Reddit staff some early notice, in order to add some extra preparations for the load. Or maybe not, does anybody know if there's any sort of normal protocol around this sort of thing?

The reddit admins knew. Heuypriest himself confirmed the validity of the AMA.

This is pretty cool...if you like canned PR replies that haven't been repeated ad nausaem (sp?) elsewhere.

This is supposed to be him live http://twitter.com/BarackObama/status/240909486234161152/pho...

You really must not understand how PR works for public figures.
