They have a word for that in Sweden

1. Bloggbävning, n. Definition: Literally translating to “blogquake,” the word describes the process by which a topic explodes in the blogosphere and is then picked by by more mainstream media outlets. Used in an English sentence: “Man, that ‘ogooglebar’ thing really caused a bloggbävning today.”
