This site is being blogged up the wazoo today, so don't be too bummed if it's crashed, but some dude has made a hack that combines Craigslist's apartment listings with Google Maps:
www.paulrademacher.com/housing
I honestly can't think of a more helpful way to find housing. It's excellent.
In other news, this made me try to think of a term that describes when a website is crashed by too much blog traffic. Thoughts:
-Blogged (This already means something)
-Moblogged (So does this)
- Crashed (Too boring)
- Farked (Taken, and refers to something else)
Anyway, I have no good ideas.

Hi there,
I'm the author of the Craigslist/GoogleMaps app. Not five minutes after I read this post ("don't be too bummed if it's crashed"), the server indeed overloaded and the hosting company took it down. Thanks for jinxing it! ;)
I'm switching hosts now -- should be back up soon

Oops! Your site totally Got Elephantlarrygroupblogged! Sorry about that...
Seriously, excellent site, great service, and thanks for reading our blog!
The term is "slashdotted". This of course harkens back to the olden days, when slashdot.com was the only site with enough readers to kill a page via one link.
I think "Elephantlarrygroupblogged" is more elegant.
