Bloglines Down – top ten things to do

Bloglines had scheduled downtime tonight, and even with an advance warning I found myself surprised. I’ve come to rely on Bloglines as my information hub and without it, well, it’s just not the same. As any respectable Web 2.0 citizen who has lo…

Should work out fine for me–they are cutting it at the end of business day in ET. Will give me an excuse to get out early and have a little fun.

Hmm..and del.icio.us seems to be down too…Ping-o-matic was down for awhile last week, as was Typepad. Not a pleasant trend.

Doh! I just promoted Bloglines a few days ago on Qwertyrash

But from an IT guy’s point of view – it’s nice to see them doing it at a humane time. Altho when it all goes belly up, the techs will be working all night anyway! Maybe that’s why they scheduled it then.
