Blogosphere Ecosystem going on vacation

No, not NZB. It seems that Hosting Matters, the server upon which NZB's site is on, is saying the Blogosphere Ecosystem is fragging their servers too much, so until NZB can figure out some other way to fix this problem, no new updates are going to be done. To me, this is both good news and bad news. The good news, if I rightly understand what he is saying, is that I will stay in the same place [top 200/Large Mammal] until more updating can be done, and the bad news is that I cannot expect to climb any higher [No. 1/Higher Being] up the chain until more updating can be done. I can live with that.[*]

Now, if I had a proposition to propose, I would say that maybe technorati should come to the rescue and host such on their site. They seem to have no resource problems there, and this plays right into what they say their site is for anyway: Index page title- Technorati: Web Services for bloggers. Now tell me, is not the Blogosphere Ecosystem the one web service the bloggers want the most?

[*Update footnote] Oh, wow, I just noticed this occurs just when I had worked really hard to get my average visitation rate back over 200 per day which should have slid me finally into the top 200 in visitation also.

I like that suggestion. Technorati can use the ranking aspect of the Ecosystem and they definitely need to incorporate the BlogRoll links. I think that it would be a good marriage.

I agree with y'all--that would be pretty cool. One stop shopping for all of your link-stat addict needs...

Heck, I'm coming off hiatus in the morning and was looking forward to the chance to pick up a couple of links and get back among the Marsupials, where I usually live. Sigh.

I really feel bad for NZ, though. He works his fur off to keep the thing going...being shut down has got to bite.

Congrats on climbing so high, Tiger.

Hmm... Maybe someone with their own server could help out. Who do we know with their own server?

(I've emailed the bear asking if I can assist in any way.)

Pixy, you are the kindest of all the bloggers I know. Heck, if I ever get to the top of the system, I might need your assistance also. I do not know what my maximum bandwidth limit for each month is. ;)

I have an ulterior motive :)

Having said that, I'm happy to host your blog at any time.
