By becoming a beta tester, a user or company can establish a place on the leading edge and get a leg up on assessing new technology. But with those benefits come the risks of fouling up machines or networks. As a result, it can be a challenge for software companies to enlist testers.

New Technorati Infrastructure beta test!

New Technorati Infrastructure beta test! 01/22/2004 02:30 AM

Folks,

After 2 months of painstaking effort, I'm proud to announce the new Technorati infrastructure is up and ready for use.

Please have a look, and tell us what you think:

http://beta.technorati.com/

We focused 100% of our time on completely refurbishing our underlying event engine - essentially taking a volkswagen engine out and putting a Ferrari engine in. This new engine sports:

1) Much faster indexing - the median amount of time it takes from when someone posts something on their weblog to when it is captured and searchable via our live database is 7 minutes.

2) Much faster querying - our goal is to have every search query take less than a second, even as the database is being continuously updated. We added a query timer at the top of every results page so you can judge for yourself.

3) Much more scalable - We built this distributed database system to scale. As we track more events, we add more machines to scale. As our user traffic increases, we add more machines to scale. This should continue to work for quite some time, so we're eager to test under load.

4) Much better internationalization support - The database is entirely in UTF-8, a character set that encompasses a significant number (well, all) of non-english languages, including Japanese, Farsi, Hebrew, and many others. You can see results in multiple languages all on the same page. Localization should be significantly easier.

5) A new, smarter spider/crawler, which understands weblog posts and blogrolls much better than our old spider. You'll note that on our results pages, many results offer a "Read Full Post" capability, which take you directly to the entire microcontent post that created the link.

6) A redone results page, which should load faster, and is designed for non-browser usage as well. Lots has been moved to CSS, and we've added a nifty pager widget at the top and bottom of each page of results.

Please go and use the site - and send us feedback.

Some known issues: There are a few areas where we're still filling out content, fixing bugs and layout, like in the top 100 page, breaking news, current events, and other pages. We're looking to find showstopper bugs or problems before we move this beta infrastructure over to the production site. So, don't fret if a page you like is currently missing or if the top 100 is messed up, we're fixing that. You may also see a change in your inbound blogs/links numbers, but that is primarily due to the fact that we're still bringing the new database up to speed, so we know that some of the numbers are different.

Thanks again for your time and patience, and on behalf of the entire Technorati team, we thank you for all of your support. We're really looking forward to your feedback.

As you may or may not know, we have decided to implement open source forums that have already been in place, better tested, and more efficient than our current ones. We are very close in achieving our goals, but now we need a group of beta testers willing to test everything out on the new forums so we can get all the kinks, bugs, etc. worked out prior to the rollover. Please e-mail us if you would like to help out.

If you get a chance to meet Marc, don't miss it! You will learn lots about cool things like Open Media.

Hey Roland - don't forget FOAFnet.org and other burgeoning standards - around OpenEvents, OpenListings and OpenReviews.

It was great to finally meet Roland and Boris and to see Stewart and Jon - again. The place really got me back into that "Gaijin" kind of frame of mind. Big guy - small seats.

The dial-up mountain retreat

The dial-up mountain retreat 02/01/2005 09:15 PM
With the new year comes new changes and challenges, and for me the biggest challenge is a return to a dial-up Internet connection. I've moved to New Hampshire to a wonderful cozy house close to all the wintry goodness I crave: downhill skiing, ice skating, snow shoeing (haven't tried this yet but I'm sure I'll like it), and hilly mountain runs. The setting is idyllic, atop a mountain with our own ski trails (an old rope tow trail runs alongside our driveway, alas no longer operational, requiring one to hike back up after a nice schuss down the slopes) surrounded by tall stands of evergreens and birch trees. The near-daily snow fall has blanketed the landscape in fluffy white, while indoors Bodhi and I enjoy the warmth of the wood-burning stove. And all is peaceful and good, except for the fucking internet connection. A return to dial-up after five years of high-speed access is like forsaking a car for a horse and buggy. It's maddeningly slow and impossible to adapt to when you know you could be getting there faster! Added to that is my ISPs propensity to drop my connection while I'm in the middle of downloading, and I think I may go mad. When contemplating the move, I had grand dreams of spending less time online and spending more reading and connecting with the "real world." But what I've discovered so far is that dial-up doesn't mean I'm online less. It pretty much means I'm not online at all. I just connect to download email (which takes anywhere from 30-45 minutes, twice a day) and then I'm off. I can't really do anything else online while I'm downloading email or it takes even longer to get the mail, and by the time I'm done, I've got some phone call to make or errand to run and off I go. Some people choose to be Luddites, others have Ludditity thrust upon them.
