Blog Services Outgrow Their Data Centers
miller60 writes "The growth of the blogosphere is straining the infrastructure at popular service providers. TypePad is having serious problems again today, the latest in a series of outages and malfunctions as it switches to a larger facility. Bloglines is also apologizing for performance problems, and says it too will move to a larger data center to accommodate growth. There's been no sign of a mass migration from either service. Are bloggers and blog readers willing to accept rocky performance from popular services?"
Damn! I can't access my blog! I have to blog about this... uh... damn.
Yes.

It's true I tell you, feller at work's next door neighbour read it in the paper.
Our willingness to accept rocky performance from popular services is the only reason we're still reading Slashdot today...:-)
I'm sure xXxDragonTearsQTxXx, however, is quite pissed.
George Bush doesn't care about bloggers!
Bloglines is apologising for performance problems, and you're going to Slashdot them on top of that? Guess that shows what people think of bloggers around here :)
I always thought bloggers were pre-programmed robots that spilled out random text. This source code proves it, I tell ya! ;)
You can hold down the "B" button for continuous firing.
You know, I've noticed that hard drives fail quite often, and take a lot of data with them.
Somebody really should invent some method of making a single disk failure a non-issue; perhaps, by using a redundant array of independant drives...

They still call all that stuff between the genes "DNA"

I can handle certain word inventions like blog, blogger, AJAX, even Web 2.0 ... but for god's sake ... BLOGOSPHERE?

That makes two of us. I'll have to make an entry in my personal wiki about this.
Sounds like a good idea, but the name? RAID (according to your initials) would never catch on, it's like the bug spray.
Maybe there should be different types, or versions optimized for speed, reliability, redundancy, hot swapping, etc.

Absolutely not. They will all stop blogging en masse and the blogosphere will cease to exist.
We should all be so lucky.
No... just makes it more 1337.
