Technorati: 2.4 million and counting

Technorati: 2.4 million and counting 05/20/2004 08:41 PM
Yesterday evening I visited Technorati's first "develope rs' Salon," an event at which non-developer bloggers and "content producer" types like me were made to feel quite welcome. You can find blog notes about the event from JD Lasica and Christian Crumlish.

Dave Sifry and Kevin Marks presented the latest stats from the "cosmos" of blogs that Technorati tracks: 11-12,000 new blogs are added each day. (Roughly 45 percent are abandoned over time.) Over 200,000 new blog postings per day. 2.4 million blogs total tracked.

That's some serious volume -- though it pales compared to the total size of the Web that, say, Google surveys Technorati specializes in tracking, and keeping up with, the part of the Web that's constantly being updated. The blogs it follows provide a collective editorial filter on the news and the Web (see for instance the Technorati "Current Events" page).

Among the most interesting graphs were those that demonstrated the size and dynamic importance of blogging's "tail end of the curve." There's a vast number of blogs that don't have thousands of readers or links; maybe they only have ten or a hundred people reading them and linking to them. But, both individually and aggregated into small relational groupings, they provide a wealth of data about what people care about and what's on their minds. Sifry said that Technorati is trying to figure out better ways to "expose the really interesting stuff that's going on in relatively small communities."

The room was packed with three or four dozen developers and blog enthusiasts filled with pizza and beer and the unquenchable notion that their code could make a difference. Technorati is a small startup company (eight on staff now, Sifry said) with a clear and honestly communicated notion that it will at some point need to bring revenue in via advertising and subscription services. But right now it's at that happy moment when its programmers can just explore new ways of making their users' worlds more interesting.

Technorati Tracks Two Million Blogs

Technorati Tracks Two Million Blogs 04/09/2004 04:12 PM

At 4:35AM PST today, Technorati broke the 2 Million weblogs tracked milestone. The blogosphere continues to expand at an amazing pace, with about 12,000 new weblogs being created every day. We're tracking over 150,000 weblog updates every day, and growing. One of the reasons for this has been the substantial growth in hosted weblog systems like Typepad, LiveJournal, and Blogger, but also a tremendous amount of growth in smaller systems, like EasyJournal and Suicide Girls and moblogs like TextAmerica. Blogging is also growing outside of the United States and the English-speaking Internet, as we've seen lots of growth in non-English language weblogs as well, especially in Russian, French, Portuguese, Chinese, and Farsi.

We've been through 3 complete technical infrastructures, each designed to scale better than the rest, and been through two major site redesigns as well. It's been a pretty crazy fun ride so far, and I look at this as only just beginning.

We've got some more new fun features in the pipeline, and we're building out a great team of folks to help in our core mission: Be of Service. Help keep us on our toes, keep sending us feedback, and keep telling us how we can be of service to you. Thanks for letting us be a part of your lives and for putting up with us when we've had our issues. I'm incredibly grateful to be given the opportunity to build something great with such a wonderful team - both inside and outside of the company. Thanks.

Technorati tracks 3 million bl0gs

Technorati tracks 3 million bl0gs 07/07/2004 04:48 AM

At 6:38PM PST on July 6, 2004, Technorati tracked its 3 millionth weblog. The growth of the service has been pretty remarkable - here's some stats: We're currently seeing anywhere from 8,000-17,000 new weblogs created every single day. On an average weekday, we're seeing over 15,000 new weblogs created per day. That means that a new weblog is created somewhere in the world every 5.8 seconds. Of course, not all weblogs that are created are actively updated. Even though abandonment rates are high - our analyses show that about 45% of the weblogs we track have not had a post in over 3 months we are still tracking a significant population of people who are posting each day. The number of conversations are increasing. We're seeing over 275,000 individual posts every day. That means that on average, more than 3 blogs are updated every second. The median time from when someone posts something to their weblog to when it is indexed and available for searches on Technorati is 7 minutes. And we're striving to handle the load. But to be perfectly frank, it isn't easy. We've had some bugs and some outages - and for that I am truly sorry. I don't think the service is fast enough or stable enough. So, stability and fast response time is job #1, over new features and product developments. It has to work, 100% of the time.

I'll tell ya, it was a lot easier to ensure that when we were only tracking a couple hundred thousand weblogs, and we only had a few thousand page views per day. Those days are long behind us. The team and I (we're growing the team, btw) are working night and day to Be Of Service to you, the folks participating in those conversations. We're working on building out our backend infrastructure so that it can keep on scaling, as more and more people continue to create content on the web.

In the meantime, I beg your indulgence. Please be patient with us as we work on fixing our problems. But please be brutally honest and frank in your feedback. One of the things I love each day is reading through the comments we receive - and the best kind is the frank, honest kind that doesn't pull any punches. Yeah, sometimes it makes me squirm, but that just means that you're right. That helps me to keep the focus on our users, and how we can be of service to you, to not get complacent.

One of the things that drives me personally is that weblogs are turning us all into producers, creators, and participants in our society, not just consumers. As Doc Searls likes to say, "consumer is an industrial-age word, a broadcast-age word. It implies that we are all tied to our chairs, head back, eating 'content' and crapping cash." Of course, the act of producing, creating, and participating means that we're not doing something else - and here's the best news of all: A Forrester Research report asked Internet users which activities they were spending less time doing in order to spend time at their computers. 78% of the people polled said that they gave up television viewing. A study from The Georgia Institute of Technology's Graphic, Visualization and Usability Center showed a clear shift in media habits with more than one third of respondents saying that they "use the Web instead of watching TV on a daily basis."

Now for my Independence Day message: We're connecting with each other, we're talking to each other, finding people of similar interests, and we're having conversations. My dear hope is that this is the beginning of a rebirth of civics in America. Much in the same way that email revived the lost art of letter writing, Blogs are reviving the lost art of civilized civic dialogue - of argument, of well reasoned thought and response. And 3 million people (heck, even if you only assume that it is only 1.65 Million people, given the current abandonment rate) participating in worldwide civic discourse puts hope into my heart.

One last thing - I want to thank the team who have made this happen. You guys - our employees, friends, advisors - you folks made this happen. I can't believe how lucky I am to work with such a great group of people, who put blood, sweat and tears into making this happen. You guys made this happen. Thanks.

One Million Webl0gs Tracked

One Million Webl0gs Tracked 01/07/2004 05:33 PM
Today is an auspicious day, Technorati is now tracking over one million weblogs. We hit 100,000 back on March 5, and 200,000 on April 6nbsp; We hit the 400,000 mark on June 21. Technorati is currently tracking about 7,000 new weblogs per day, which means that a new weblog is being created approximately every 12 seconds. And I know we're not catching them all.

Tracking the newsroom bug-tracking idea

Tracking the newsroom bug-tracking idea 02/01/2005 09:42 PM
I want to return to the idea I floated a few days ago about bug-trackin g software for newsrooms. The comment s response ranged from "neat idea!" to "it'll never work," so let's look it over again.

What I imagined was something similar to the way open-source software development projects manage bug reports. When people file bugs against such a project, they go to a publicly available online resource and enter a form that says "Here's a problem I encountered," and provide details. Different projects follow different organizational structures, but generally speaking, other developers will review the bug and try to classify it: Sometimes they'll say it's a duplicate and point to previous entries in the database that dealt with it; sometimes they'll say it's a simple problem and go fix it right away and close it out; sometimes they'll say it's a big one and leave it open to be dealt with in the future; sometimes they'll say it's a "known bug" that for one reason or another is never going to be fixed; sometimes they'll say it's not a bug at all.

For a newsroom, the idea is to provide a structure and a channel for reader dissatisfaction. You wouldn't have to follow the software model detail for detail, but the general outline could be valuable: Provide a form for readers to enter complaints, one that requires them to present details. Post the complaint publicly as soon as it's entered, and record the publication's response in a reasonably prompt fashion -- anything from "Thanks, we fixed the spelling on that name" to "we chose the phrase 'private accounts' because it is an accurate description of the president's proposal, and the label was in wide use by supporters of the idea until very recently, so we do not plan to stop using the term." The explanation is on record, and if other readers keep filing the same complaint they can simply be pointed back to the original answer. Spam? Just delete it. Letters to the editor that don't have a specific complaint? Re-route them to the letters box.

The most common objection seems to be, forget it -- this will become another free-for-all for political partisans to work out their agendas, another wide-open Internet forum that will degenerate into circular debate. Such forums already exist, to be sure; the point of a bug tracker is to avoid that outcome by choosing a narrower environment for the feedback that allows you to quickly aggregate and dispose of duplicate complaints, and that provides a public record of responsiveness and accountability. If 500 people all holler that you shouldn't say "private accounts," you can answer them once and be done with it -- but you can point each individual complaint back to your explanation, so those people understand that you actually heard them and offered some sort of response. There's a big difference between the silence of no response and "no, we're not doing that, here's why." The latter won't satisfy everyone, but it at least acknowledges that there's been an exchange on the subject.

Ross Karchner proposed a somewhat different model based on wiki practices: "1) A publically viewable changelog, where you can see, in detail, the changes made to an article. 2) A place where the author(s) and editor(s) can discuss the changes needed and made. This is also in public view..." I'm not sure whether Ross means the changelog and the writer/editor dialogue to commence from the first time the writer composed a draft, or only upon publication. The former is, I think, too wide open -- even a blogger has the right to compose a posting and revise it in private before choosing to push the "publish" button. The latter is fine -- but since most reputable publications rarely change articles once they're published, and note the changes as corrections if they do, then it's just codifying an existing practice in slightly different ways.

As for the idea of trying all this out at Salon: Who knows, I might well advocate it, though my current on-leave status doesn't put me in a good spot to work on it. But Salon has been dealing with the back-and-forth of online criticism of our work for 9 years plus. Whatever problems we may suffer from, a failure of responsiveness to online feedback is not, I think, one of them, and we have a pretty sturdy process for reviewing complaints fast and correcting them where needed.

I think this approach would pay off best for a newsroom that is having difficulty convincing readers that the publication is actually listening to them. If you showed the public that you were recording and responding to the issues they raised -- whether you end up publishing a correction or simply saying, "We don't think that needs correcting, and here's why" -- I think you'd start to bank some confidence and trust pretty quickly.

I'm not suggesting that this idea is the single, one-fix-solves-all-problems answer to the ills of journalism today. It's a pragmatic, you-could-do-it-real-soon suggestion for beginning to deal with professional journalism's biggest problem: the public's loss of trust, which begins with the sense that media companies are big institutions that pay no attention to their own mistakes.

My dissertation is complete! An Ecological Approach to the Evolution of Complexity

Two weeks ago I completed an intense summer of work and sumbitted my dissertation for the MSc in Evolutionaty and Adaptive Systems. If all goes to plan, and there's no reason why not, I will have my degree within the next month. The research turned out well, and may lead to some future developments. Here I'm publishing the text (minus the code appendix) and the abstract, for easier reading flavor. Enjoy! (I am for sure).

An Ecological Approach to the Evolution of Complexity

How evolution led to complex life is one of the great questions. This paper describes simulations that investigate the role of ecological interactions in the evolution of complexity. Webworld is a robust model of evolution in food webs. It is extended for variability of organism complexity under evolution. Statistical and network analysis indicates a clear tendency for complexification within the model, led by adaptations that initially disconnect the species from trophic interactions. This suggests a process where short term fitness is increased by less connection to the ecosystem, but long term fitness is insured by incorporation within the ecosystem. Certainly it suggests a greater role for ecosystems in the evolution of complexity.

The SlashDot Effect.

I had only read about the SlashDot Effect, popularly known as Slashdotted. I had never experienced it first hand. While I was away in Los Angeles, this story about the Linksys gateway, which did the rounds in the blogsphere via Engadget, Gizmodo, Boing Boing , Broadband Reports and a couple of other sites, was picked up by SlashDot. (Broke the Blogdex top 50 for the first time as well.)I had no idea that my innocuous little post could stir up such reaction. Oh well … power of the Internet first hand.

Next thing I know (rather I did not know) the traffic to the website went crazy, and quickly site was “off the air.” Apparently, the number of hits to the page created log files which tipped me over the available disk space on the server, and the index page became unavailable. Well managed to fix this problem, but it is becoming increasingly evident that it is time to go for a higher end web hosting company. Which is a problem because that is going to cost money, and well given that GigaOM is more of a hobby, I am wondering out aloud about what to do next. Suggestions and ideas are always welcome.

[Om Malik on Broadband]

Speaking of Clay Shirky - we got Shirkydotted last Septemeber when he mentioned the PeopleAggregator. I had dropped a subtle hint of it's existence and he immediately picked up on it.

But that was nothing like the real Slashdottin g we received when Richard McManus' article/interview of me went live, and first Doc and Xeni/BoingBoing picked it up and then within an hour - BAM.

Down on our knees begging for forgiveness for days.

Congrats to Ross et al - keep going!

Congrats to Ross et al - keep going! 04/24/2004 03:25 AM

And as if (on cue) Ross was waiting for the official battles to commence, here comes Blogware with....

Busy Week in Blogware-land.

It has been an extremely busy week on Blogwareland. The project is really firing on all cyclinders and I'm starting to get pretty excited about the upcoming release. Most of my time has been devoted to staff training. We took 30 or so staffers through hands-on with the service in a lab environment and the feedback has been great. I really enjoyed taking everyone through the in's and out's of Blogware and the weblog market and it is great to see the rest of the team over here finally starting to understand why I'm so excited by Blogware and the weblog opportunity. The blogosphere can be a tough thing to grok for one person - getting 150 people on the same page is even harder ;)

I finally got the nerve up to steal a page out of Doc Searls playbook and go outside of the "bullet-snore-click-snore" structure that Powerpoint forces on Office users. I've had the pleasure of seeing Doc "present" a few times and he's really taught me that 60 slides in 60 minutes is only bad if the content is bad...

The dev team is also totally in the zone. A bunch of new features coming out this week and a few bug fixes as well. I can see v1.0 just over the horizon...

Something old, something new, something boring and nothing blue...

 Something Old...

Comment Notifications v2.0! Weblog publishers getting comment notifications is old hat. Now, authenticated readers can also choose to receive comment notifications on a per article, per category or on a site-wide basis. Publishers also get to choose whether or not this feature is even available to their readers.

Something New...

Import/Export. Publishers can now get the important content out of their old weblogs and into their shiny new Blogware weblog. Also, the Export feature makes your Blogware content just that much more portable - great peace of mind. Import initially supports only MT imports with support for the Blogger, Radio and other formats shortly.

Something Boring...

Bug fixes. Yawn. ;) Publishers will notice that the webstats are much snappier now - we realized a ton of performance increases with some of these new fixes.

Nothing Blue...

No, I meant it - there was nothing blue. Well, just this. Literally.

So what's the big take away? It has been impossible for me to keep up with my email this week. If you've sent me a message and I haven't gotten back to you, rest assured, I still love you - its just that I'm currently 300 messages behind where I should be - and that's after 4 hours of catch up. Problem is, I'm not going to get through it all today - marketing needs sign-off on virtually everything that they've been working on for Blogware this afternoon and unless I wade into it, they are going to hunt me down and kill me - probably with a bad PowerPoint presentation or something ;)

One thing Martin Lamonica - the writer of the article forgot - is that Laszlo Systems also creates "software for building so-called rich clients, or graphically rich desktop software that relies on XML and Web services."

We (Broadband Mechanics) - spent several years trying to build a 'rich-media platform'.  We finally just ran out of money.  But Laszlo got it right.  Oh - and Bill Appleton's Dreamfactory - also got it right - too.  :-)

It's a rare day that something this nice happens.

Jason DeFillippo's Blogrolling.com is one of those diamond's in the rough, percolating up underneath the surfac - waiting for funding and support.  Now it has it!

Elliot and Ross and are gonna do right by Jason - and that rocks!

I wonder if they're interested in th e strategy and ideas I developed for Jason -just about a year ago?

They could also morph this - with Laszlo - as well.

Here's Ross announcement....

Tucows Acquires Blogrolling.com.

You may have already read the press release or a blog entry somewhere else - the rumors are true, Tucows has indeed purchased the assets of Blogrolling.com from Jason DeFillippo.

I'm really glad we got together with Jason and were able to come to a deal. I've been a Blogrolling.com user almost as long as I've been a blogger and this really is a nifty service. Jason felt it was time to move on to other things and we knew that Blogrolling.com is a service worth continuing with and expanding. A definite match.

The service isn't going anywhere and we're not turning into some "Blogware only" proprietary mess. The Tucows ZenKeepers would take away my spots if I tried to do that (or let that happen). We're looking to go in exactly the opposite direction. My goal is tomake Blogrolling.com even more useful to webloggers, weblog tool developers and weblog resellers. We will do this by opening it up more than it already is and ensure basic win-wins for everyone.

I'm really looking forward to building on Jason's great work. He's done an excellent job carving out a niche for the service and really giving his subscribers a great tool. His innovative and customer-centric philosophy will always guide our management of this nifty service moving forward.

And, if it appears that we might be straying away from this ideal, be sure to let me know.

On the other hand, if have no idea what Blogrolling.com is, now would be a great time to check it out. The basic service is free and it couldn't be easier to integrate into your website. I;ll bet if you ask AccordionGuy nicely, he'll post som e nifty instructions describing how to make it work with Blogware ;)
