News today that Automattic/we have acquired blo.gs from Yahoo!. We approached Yahoo! a while ago to ask about their plans for blo.gs and were able to structure a deal to take it over. We plan to maintain continuity for blo.gs users. Matt has more details.
I don’t know if this is part of a larger trend of Yahoo! concentrating more on its core business, but I found Yahoo! to be refreshingly quick and focused to work with on this deal.

This should be interesting! Gotta get more hardware than that 1 server though!
It hasn’t run on 1 server for a long long time. I need to update that page
I’d be interested to see some details on the server setup. Clustering?
I’m very interested in distributed computing these days!
