How much of your bandwidth does RSS consume?
In: Web Performance
15 Feb 2006Yesterday I was on a call with a customer who flat out stated that 55% of their bandwidth was consumed by applications pulling RSS feeds.
Does your company have a grip on just how much continual background noise RSS feeds inflict on your Web servers?

It is real.

Google Feed Reader: YUCK!
In: smp
8 Oct 2005Ok, I thought I was missing something about the Google Feed Reader. I thought it was clumsy and flashy and mostly usefless for the way I read blogs.

Paul Kedrosky is not amused. [here]

23 miles. Each way.

I won’t go into the frustrations I have [...]
NY Times: How much will you pay?
In: smp
3 May 2005Business 2.0 is asking how much you would pay to read the NY Times online. [here]

Apple: Safari Lead DDoS and Web Performance Threat to RSS?
In: smp
28 Apr 2005Om Malik points out a potential threat to blogs: OSX 10.4 “Tiger”. The new Safari that ships with this OS comes with the RSS reader turned on by default!
