This is just mindblowing :

TechCrunch » Blog Archive » MySpace, The 27.4 Billion Pound Gorilla:

MySpace has 75 million users (see somewhat dated comparison stats here), 15 million daily unique logins, is growing by a massive 240,000 new users per day, and is generating nearly 30 billion monthly page views (that’s 10,593 page views per second). The number of page views generated by each unique visitor is stunning - clearly these users are very, very passionate about the site, and it’s unclear if they do much else on the web besides hang out on MySpace.

Hm! There is certainly a lot of blog spammers around today :

I discovered today that Technorati refused to pull up any news from this blog for the last few weeks, and tried to find out why....

To cut a long story short I used the URI http://www.gisvold.co.uk/~gisvold/drupal when I registered the site with Technorati, and it has somehow stopped working.

So I did a /usr/bin/curl --silent --compressed http://www.gisvold.co.uk/~gisvold/drupal from the terminal window, and got a "301 redirect" message back. So I now know that Technorati no longer will follow 301 redirects (for a number of very good reasons I should add). So I had to make sure that Apache rewrites

http://www.gisvold.co.uk/~gisvold/drupal to http://www.gisvold.co.uk/~gisvold/drupal/

(Notice the trailing slash /) - as this should work.

This sentence in .htaccess did the trick :

Hm! I had no idea that NetNewsWire had changed the way it read feeds - and that I not longer downloaded the feeds directly from the sites I had subscribed to. I have now turned off NewsGator syncing, as I'd like to let the sites I subscribe to know that I am reading their feeds...

How NetNewsWire 2.1 Reads Feeds:

On inessential.com I write about how NetNewsWire 2.1 reads feeds. The short answer: if you use NewsGator syncing, it downloads feeds from NewsGator. If you don’t use syncing, it downloads feeds from the original sources, just like always. You choose.
