I sometimes find a question has like 50000 views and later I find most of those were reddit users that got in rage or glee about something of it.
Yesterday there was an answer of a page-one user that upset reddit folks, and within minutes that post were downvoted to -70. It looks like reddit has a deep impact on SO posts.
May it make sense to mark a question as "reddited" if the system finds that a large part of visitors were directed from reddit to this question?
HTTP_REFERER
request variable usually transmits the originating page. IfHTTP_REFERER
contains reddit.com and requests with that set start coming in en masse, you have a classic case of "reddited" – Pekka Jan 25 '11 at 15:40
