First it was Six Apart/ Typepad going down, now bloglines is shutting down for maintenance, and del.icio.us has been down most of today. It may be true that 99.99% uptime doesn’t scale, but when these things happen to multiple independent services makes you wonder if the blogosphere really is ready for John Q. Public.

Well, hosting a popular site certainly has it’s challenges. :)

Interesting that there are a set of problems across the services in close proximity – it makes you wonder if some dumb Russian spammer hasn’t accidently unleashed a DDoS using proxies for registrations. :)
