How the "Web 2.0 Effect" Experiment Fooled->
Submitted

Tenken
Tenken writes "A few weeks ago a seemingly useful experiment, dubbed the "Web 2.0 Effect", set out to compare some entry-level shared hosting plans by flooding some test sites with tons of traffic. Burton Hosting ended up winning the test, and I found that very puzzling. How could a relatively unknown provider win this test? Why weren't the more popular providers tested? After some investigation, I began to uncover some oddities in the test, as well as connections to a web marketing firm. My findings led me to believe that the "Web 2.0 Effect" was actually an elaborate marketing plot."

Attempts to replace those parts affected by the heat led to further failures and as a result we have to postpone the public demonstration until a future date."
