During the outage last week I actually had quite a few readers asking me why Viigo was not working. So I decided to share these two scheduled maintenance windows.
First of all our hosting company, MediaLayer, has informed us that there may be a few minutes of downtime on Saturday, February 23th, 2007 between the hours of 12:00 and 1:00 AM EST [GMT -5]. They are booting the system into a new kernel in order to ensure protection against recent exploits and to make way for an upcoming feature.
Viigo has also made some announcements that they will be doing a major service upgrade over the weekend. I am hoping that this upgrade will speed up the feed updates in Viigo. According to Viigo they are doubling their server capacity and moving to a new provider.
From Viigo:
Dear Viigo User,On Saturday, February 23rd, from 7am to 4pm EST, we will be performing a major server upgrade to accommodate our rapidly-growing subscriber base.
