When the news of Michael Jackson's death hit the web, millions flocked to Google to see if the news was true. It was assumed a massive denial of service attack was on-going. Now, there's anther kind of event that can bring websites to their knees: Apple media events.
When the iPhone 4S was introduced, many live blogging sites failed. You'd think live blogging sites have learned their lessons. Have they?
I started off the day with 7 blogs running simultaneously because I knew most of them will fail by the end of the day. By the time Tim Cook wrapped up the event and said "expect more innovation from Apple" in 2012, I was down to two blogs because the other sites failed.
This gigaom post gave a detailed account of what happened. So, the answer to the above question is: no.
Trust me when I say that the next Apple event this fall for the unveiling of a potentially redesigned iPhone (no more iPhone 5 as Apple has gotten rid of the numeric suffix). These blogs will have more than six months to prepare.
