Charles earlier noted his referrals page, with 100% of the requests for some variation of the Nick Berg video. He also traced the referral ip’s...most of them resolved to Persian Gulf countries.

Based on Fred’s problems, Instapundit’s 200,000 page views, Andrew Sullivan’s traffic spike, I think it’s safe to say that this one video is acting like a worm that is serially causing the blogosphere to destabilize. Hopefully this will be the one and only time.

#4  Hosting Matters (Instapundit, Daily Pundit, etal) is running really slow, too. They're currently blaiming the problem on an "unsecured script." (5:20 pm EDT)

Is the site down again?

#2  "...most of them resolved to Persian Gulf countries."

Doesn't this put a hole in the idea that people are searching out the Nick Berg video because they think the media is biased in showing the Abu Ghraib photos which hurt the U.S. effort but not the murder which shows we're the good guys and they're the bad?
