As we have multiple times before, we over at gdgt partnered with the guys over at Rackspace to hose our iphone 5 liveblog. We were able to handle 55 Million page hits during Apple's biggest event ever, the iPhone 5 announcement. You can read about the event and check out some traffic graphs over on Rackspace's blog.

An interview Rackspace did with Ryan about what goes into being one of the only websites to do a liveblog of events like Apple announcements and not go down because of the traffic. You'll even catch a glimpse of yours truly around the 1:30 mark.
