Globule was an open-source collaborative content delivery network developed at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam since 2006.
 It is implemented as a third-party module for the Apache HTTP Server that allows any given server to replicate its documents to other Globule servers.
 This can improve the site's performance, maintain the site available to its clients even if some servers are down, and to a certain extent help to resist to flash crowds and the Slashdot effect.
 s of February 2011 the project is discontinued and is no longer maintained.

 In January, 2016, BizX acquired Slashdot Media, including both slashdot.org and SourceForge.

The Slashdot effect, also known as slashdotting, occurs when a popular website links to a smaller website, causing a massive increase in traffic.
 This overloads the smaller site, causing it to slow down or even temporarily become unavailable.
 The name stems from the huge influx of web traffic which would result from the technology news site "Slashdot" linking to websites.
 The name, however, is somewhat dated, as flash crowds from "Slashdot" were reported to be diminishing as of 2005 due to competition from similar sites.
 The effect has been associated with other websites or metablogs such as Fark, Digg, "Drudge Report", Imgur, Reddit, and Twitter, leading to terms such as being "farked" or "drudged", being under the "Reddit effect"—or receiving a "hug of death" from the site in question.
 Google Doodles, which link to search results on the doodle topic, also result in high increases of traffic from the search results page.
 Typically, less robust sites are unable to cope with the huge increase in traffic and become unavailable – common causes are lack of sufficient data bandwidth, servers that fail to cope with the high number of requests, and traffic quotas. Sites that are maintained on shared hosting services often fail when confronted with the Slashdot effect.
A social news website is an Internet website that features user-posted stories.
 Such stories are ranked based on popularity, as voted on by other users of the site or by website administrators.
 Users typically comment online on the news posts and these comments may also be ranked in popularity.
 Since their emergence with the birth of Web 2.0, social news sites have been used to link many types of information, including news, humor, support, and discussion.
 All such websites allow the users to submit content and each site differs in how the content is moderated.
 On the Slashdot and Fark websites, administrators decide which articles are selected for the front page.
 On Reddit and Digg, the articles that get the most votes from the community of users will make it to the front page.
 Many social news websites also feature an online comment system, where users discuss the issues raised in an article.
 Some of these sites have also applied their voting system to the comments, so that the most popular comments are displayed first.
 Some social news websites also have a social networking function, in that users can set up a user profile and follow other users' online activity on the website.
