What is the deal with Technorati? It seems every time I go to that site and enter a search term their search is broken. I am finding more cross linked post via Google than Technorati. Has the blogsphere gotten so big that they cannot handle the task of indexing blogs.
I am disappointed in Technorati’s performance and am really tired of getting screen that say this feature is not implemented yet. When you get that error it’s because their servers are to busy.
It’s nice to see Dell listening, and responding on their blog, and I am sure that the blogsphere and small companies like mine will appreciate that enough that if they can get some of their customer service ratings up. That I as a small business owner may be inclined to check out some dell products next time we need to buy some computers or hardware.
It’s too bad that they took this long to blog, we will see how sincere they are, and if they really answer the tough questions directed at them from within, and outside the blogsphere. [one2one.dell.com]
Well this is post 6033, and today Geek News Central turns 4 years old. What a ride it has been. If you would have told me that this blog would have been largely responsible for my book deal which lead to the launch of two companies, and associated formation of new media networks with, Podcast Connect, and RawVoice. With me leading those companies I would never have imagined it.
But as I run down the major events since May 1, 2002 writing this blog has definitely been a growing experience, but to think that four years has flashed before my eyes is amazing. I am sure the next few years are going to be even more exciting, as I share with you my thoughts on technology, and give you my insights into were things are headed in the new media space.

Seems someone at Google deleted their own blog by mistake, can you imagine that, luckily backups were in place and they were able to recover, goes to prove that the human finger connected to a brain can still make mistakes

Seems everyone is in the mode of creating top 10 lie list at the moment this one is pretty funny. [GapingVoid]
I can tell you what happens because it happened here earlier in the month and it was partially my fault. You simply panic. I can also tells you what it does to your momentum it slows it down. The 3-4 days I was having trouble caused my site hits to drop by nearly 20% the initial week after the recovery. Only now are we back to pre-blog blackout days.
How do you mitigate it if your running your own site. It’s called redundancy. I have two dedicated severs now and both of those boxes are going to have the data from each mirrored on the other and both now have the DNS propagated in way if one goes down the other can take over very quickly. We will only be risking 24 hours of data as we are shipping the databases to each box each night.
But if you are on a hosted service that you cannot touch your kinda screwed. A large number of Typepad users where without service for a few days and let me tell you I felt your pain. I thought I was going to have a heart attack before I got my sites back online. It was terrible.
If you blog is serving data thousands of visitors a day spend a little money and put in some safeguards. [gigaom.com]
I have been thinking it would be cool to go to CES but the only way we can do it would be with a sponsor. My idea is simple have 4-6 of the techpodcasts.com affiliates storm CES then Blog and Podcast till we dropped. This would be a great sponsorship opportunity for some company. If your interested lets talk podcast@podcastconnect.com
