I was watching the Oakland (Raiders) @ Pittsburgh( Steelers) and their was a controversial call about a forward pass. I'm not going to take the time to explain the controversial play..... So to make the long story short. The Raiders coach challenge the play.... so the referees had to review the play on instant replay at the same time the commentators told the viewer to go online to vote if the play should stand or be decline. and it showed the stats live on TV.... in about 1 min there was over 14,000 votes!! the stats updated about every 5 seconds..... the hits was going up like crazy!!! after about 3 min of reviewing the play the stats showed that over 95,000 votes was made!!! I couldn't believe what I was seeing!!! Do the Math and its over 500 hits per second and about 45,000,000 hits a day!!!! I didn't think any site/server could handle that kind of traffic!!! WOW!!! What would you do with that kind of traffic?
