[info]timbearcub's song chart for Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give you up" made it to the front page of digg.com.

It is growing by 5,000 views every 20 minutes!!!
EDIT: It is 2:41pm and it is up to 133,828 views!!!
My flickr account has exploded. ;)

Apparently it is the new "rick roll technique." Sending people to my flickr page by mistake is called a "FlickRoll."

WHAAAAT?!?!?


I figured it out this morning when I checked flickr and I had 300+ unread comments to read.

Click and see for yourself.

I have enjoyed these so much.

OK it has 17 views after an hour. Will it get to 68,000? I clicked on a bunch of yours and they all seem to be over 1,000. Crazy!

Why not? It's a vast improvement on the rickroll 'cuz I can laugh at it without having to unmute my PC first.

That link is not working. You must have singlehandedly crashed flickr.

You're famous! Will you autograph the pic I too with you at IBR?

The "rick roll technique" link.

Please tell me is misdirects me to your flickr page? LOL It would be so cool to be "flickrolled."

It says "Not Found: the friend group you are trying to access does not exist." Maybe my Mac protects me from being misdirected. Macs are amazing.

No fair. I want to be "flickrolled!"

It works now. :)

But it should totally misdirect me to your Song Chart flickr page instead: "flickrolled!"

Nicely done, Boxy!

A cow-orker, no doubt having found this for the first time through digg, reminded me of this meme earlier today. My submission (it was a slow day at work) wouldn't work so well on flickr, though.

I cannot believe anyone is taking my shitty little graph seriously...:-o I mean the chart nazis are now out in force, stalking the streets cos I dared make two colours the same...

241,877 Flickr views and 1000's of Diggs later, tis scary!

Thanks boyshapedbox...my epitaph is going to read 'He made the FlickRoll chart you know!' rather than anything else I've done...hmm...LOL
