NewYorkTimes.com is going through a slow

even, almost ready to break into the top 100.
There was a cute exchange about this at the WebCred conference about
Wikipedia buckling under catastrophic success (with people from the
Times in the room) :

Jonathan Zittrain: "If the front page of the New York Times were a
wiki that just froze to the version that existed at 6:00 a.m. ...
they'd have a different set of problems than you would, and I worry
that you are about to inherit those."
Jimmy Wales: "Yeah, they might... but our traffic is very, very close
now to the traffic of the New York Times."
Dave Winer: "And it never freezes."

I'm sad to see that the Main Page has been frozen now for such a long time.
That was not meant to be permanent, and I hope we can unfreeze it again soon.
