Wow, a flurry of Bloglines related activity today. First up, Jeremy Zawodny posts that he’s switching to Bloglines. Thanks! If you or any other user has any suggestions for how we can improve the service, please tell us, by either using the comment submission form on the web site or by sending email to support (at) bloglines.com. Next, we’re mentioned briefly in the latest Wired magazine, in an article on RSS.

For kicks, I just figured out how much usable disc space Bloglines has between all the machines that run the service. With the recent addition of a couple of servers to support some upcoming features, I believe we’ve passed the 1 terabyte mark. That’s in usable disc space, not raw. All of our various databases run on RAIDs, so the raw disc space number is actually much higher than that. Of course not all of that disc space is being used right now.

I attended the Future Salon presentation by Dave Sifry on Technorati last night. This was the first time I had met Dave, and he struck me as one of those instantly likeable types. It was a good presentation and I have a lot of respect for what they’re doing at Technorati. Even though there is some functionality overlap between Bloglines and Technorati, which will probably increase over time, I think we serve different audiences.

Just wanted to quickly pop in here and say thanks for the spat of recent Bloglines mentions. Scoble mentioned us a few times when he was talking about aggregator adoption rates. Steve Gillmor also mentioned us in his response to Scoble. I could probably write all day about my thoughts about RSS and Aggregation adoption rates, but I’m really busy doing what I can to increase those rates. Things have been quiet on the Bloglines new features front.

During the recent move of Bloglines from Equinex in San Jose to AT&T, we retired a couple of machines and added several new machines. Yesterday, we were reconfiguring what used to be one of the primary database machines at the old co-lo. While swapping out drives, I noticed that the wire for the speaker was completely melted. Looking more closely, the speaker had shorted against the metal chassis. That couldn’t have been good for things.
