Hehe, sorry, old habits of a geek
"Slashdotted" and "Digged" are past tense of verbs created by computer geeks. They refer to being featured on slashdot.org or digg.com, both focus much more so on technology than other topics. While there is no better way to get publicity for your tech-related website than being featured on those sites (and a few others like them), many MANY sites had also gone sluggish for several days, sometimes gone down completely, because either their hosting web servers cannot handle the user load or the bandwidth limitations had been reached within a few hours of being on Slashdot or Digg. Quite an interesting phenomenon.
