I've been lucky enough to live through spikes like this. At Typepad we had cuteoverload, and gofugyourself, at hi5 we had the Romanian DJ phenomenon which resulted in 20% penetration in a months time...

In both cases the small teams had to scramble to deal with the load and focus on features was suspended.

I'm so stoked to see what we can do with the infrastructure of Google behind us.
