I never really associated TWiT with the success (nor afaik has anyone else). Diggnation was ranked pretty close in the early days of itunes podcasts. I tend to associate most of the success with Paris Hilton and Yahoo ;-) In case you weren't around in Feb. 2005, her cell phone got hacked and someone put up some pictures and contacts on their site and then submitted it to digg. It got indexed by yahoo and ended up as the no. 1 and no. 3 search results for "Paris Hilton Cell Phone." Once we got the site back up :-( we discovered our traffic had increased drastically.
