The results are great. I doubled the capacity with same amount of resource. Currently it has 160,000+ requests a day (1.85+ completed requests/second) and 350+ active blogs every hour. More than 2,000 blogs and 50,000 posts are stored in datastore.
Currently, it has 2177 blogs registered, only 140 blogs are accepted (6.43 %) and 831 blogs are blocked (38.17 %). You may think blocking rate is quite high. In deed, there are a lot of bad blogs on Blogger. I have to honey to say after I started to review blogs, I have tagged people from certain country who using Blogger (Only those use blogs, they still have good and talent people, a lot!) with very low value. 95% of their blogs are involving copyright infringement. All posts were copied from here and there, they don't even have rights to claim fair use. Some of them are suspicious to using automatically method to create mass blogs and posts. They are just awful and without moral and honor.

Anyway, Happy Birthday to BRPS!
Congratulations! I think you are doing a great job.
ReplyDeleteAs for your bandwidth situation, maybe you can refer some people to me, to find related posts. I think I'll put some version of the HTML for the BRPS on-line and maybe you can then refer some people to me, if that's ok for you.
I also wrote a review of related post widgets for blogger, where I give instructions how to install the service on google app engine. Maybe you could use the article to animate some more people to spawn off the service for themselves.
Please carry on your great work!
@Benjamin, thanks for the offer. But I am afraid that would be against GAE's TOS since I would be intentional to avoid running out of quota or, say, to avoid charging if I ask some people to go to app, though I don't know if that is still the case if it's different persons' apps. I do tell people to host their own but that's under difference circumstance, their blogs are blocked by BRPS.
ReplyDeleteBut, I don't mind you actively to show up and offer like the comment above. :)
Happy belated Birthday to BRPS!
ReplyDeleteI think BRPS is awesome widget for Bloggers and thanks for providing good widget. :D
@zizukabi, thank you for using it!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, if anyone has a good idea what widget Blogger should have or you need a better, quicker, and easier way to have certain type of widget, e.g. Related Posts :-), please let me know. I will see if I can make one or improve something.
