As you know, I recently posted a LunarPages web Hosting Rebate offer for problogineer readers and someone asked me “whether wordpress blog hosted on best shared hosting plan can survive digg effect (also known as digg frontpage, slashdot effect) or not ?”
Though I have not experienced this digg effect, but I can say WP Super Cache WordPress Plugin can make your blog digg proof 
. Once you will install this plugin, there is a special option/setting for Digg/slashdot effect.
Even they have following checkbox option
Proudly tell the world your server is Digg proof! (places a message in your blog’s footer)

I have this plugin in my list, but It was disabled, I just activated it, let’s see how it will work!
I am a little bit confused, there is a lot of options in that plugin!

People should definitely Diggproof their blogs, unless you use your blog as more of a playground and don’t necessarily use it to make money. However, I’m going to launch a blog with a purpose here shortly and will be sure to remember your suggestion. Would there be any other cacheing plugins you’d recommend?

Yep, I think you’re spot on with that one. I had the plugin enabled, but I didn’t get enough visitors to put it to real use so I disabled it for now.
As far as I know though, the plugin does work against the digg effect.
