It's even worse than it appears..

feedland.org or feedland.com?#
  • This question has come up quite a bit lately. #
  • People don't know that there are two places you can use FeedLand, feedland.org and feedland.com.#
  • There's a lot of history here, and some uncertainty about the future, so there's not much I can do other than explain the situation.#
  • First you're welcome to use either of them. #
  • feedland.org is running on a simple small server on Digital Ocean, and feedland.com is on Automattic's VIP network. #
  • If feedland.org gets overloaded, it gets slow. #
  • if feedland.com gets overloaded, it adds more servers and should stay about the same at all times. #
  • You should pick one and use it and not have two accounts, but people accidentally create them, because in some places we point to .com and in others we the default is .org. It's because we haven't gotten it together yet. #
  • There are also performance issues on .com -- ones that we still need to address. #
  • That's about all I can say at this point. At the same time I'm working on a whole other product while all this is happening, and I'm not that young, and really can only work so many hours a day before I have to stop. A fact. #
  • And I'm really glad so many new people are trying FeedLand. I use it myself in so many ways. And it will be deeply integrated with WordLand in the next release. I'm not kidding. #

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
