New Web-Hosting Discussion Forum. In anticipation and support of my new book, Strategies for Web Hosting and Managed Services, scheduled to be on bookstore shelves this week, I've created an on-line discussion forum for the issues that concern all web-hosting customers. Stop by and visit. You'll be one of the first.

How Many Weblogs?. On the Cluetrain mailing list, David Weinberger asked "Does anyone else have a guesstimate of how many blogs there are?" From research on my own forthcoming book (on weblogs for organizations)...
300,000 people have created diaries on Diaryland, launched in September 1999. I don't have current-use numbers. Its precessor, Pitas, still has 50,000 active weblogs. Blogger has 290,000 weblogs, and about 50,000 have been updated in the past 30 days. LiveJournal claims 380,000 participants, with 135,000 updated in the past month, and 200,000 updated in the past two months. These numbers were obtained from the pricipals within the past 30 days.

Forge Ahead. "Over the past few months the SourceForge
development facility, which hosts a large number of Free
Software projects, has changed its policies...VA Linux
has become rather underhand in their
attempts to grasp exclusive control of contributors' work." [Source: Advogato]
I developed a bad impression of VA Linux when they didn't adequately support some of their servers I leased from Navisite. Navisite ultimately had to drop VA Linux and switch to using Compaq servers.
