When my prepayment at Slicehost runs up in September I'm shutting RSSmeme down; traffic has bottomed out. Thanks for being so supportive over the years

I updated the mobile version of RSSmeme to include pagination and reading story content snippets. Just click on "read more" on any story. http://m.rssmeme.com/

RSSmeme has been speedy but I've also been sacrificing some things to keep it this way. Last night I had an epiphany for how to keep it fast without making nearly as many sacrifices. It won't be immediately obvious that anything has changed but it should stay as fast as it is.

Last night RSSmeme ran out of disk space causing all sorts of weird things and general downtime. Sorry!
Keep up the good work Ben. We know you'll get it back on track. - Louis Gray
Rather than buy more disk space I just deleted old entry snippet content. I had 7 GB of it that hasn't been looked at in months and thus could be deleted. - Benjamin Golub
Hey Benjamin, who should I talk to over there about integrating SocialToo SocialSurveys into FriendFeed? I've got an API all ready for you guys. - Jesse Stay
Jesse: we add new services in batches and based on user demand but feel free to email me at bgolub@friendfeed.com - Benjamin Golub

RSSmeme is going to be in debug mode for a few hours while I do some maintenance. It will still operate but most requests will redirect you to the front page in order to cut down on database hits while the maintenance occurs.
Maintenance complete. It was actually done a while ago but I forgot about it :P - Benjamin Golub
Benjamin, just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for RSSmeme, I really enjoy it =) - FFing Enigma

Taking RSSmeme down for a moment in an attempt to get the site to run on a 512MB slice instead of 1GB. Should only be a few moments.
Done. I will monitor for the next day or so to ensure that it remains stable. Hopefully I can keep it at 512MB and save some money. - Benjamin Golub
Things are working well so far. Search queries are slower than I'd like but nearly everything else is running just as fast. Ad revenue is down in today's economy and RSSmeme was no longer breaking even on a 1GB server. - Benjamin Golub

How Google? - Yuvi
Owe it to you Ben - Pretty darn good! Second Undocumented Google API I'm encountering - First the Reader API, now this. - Yuvi

Some duplicates have made it into RSSmeme due to Google switching the domain of feedburner to feedproxy.google.com. I've added that domain to the whitelist of domains that I perform de-duping on. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Currently I de-dupe on feedburner, tinyurl, bitly, and slashdot. - Benjamin Golub

Something went wrong in the night and stories only got voted on once (ie you could vote for a new story but not vote for a story that was already in the DB) causing all stories to have just 1 vote.
Rebooted the box and things seem to be running fine now; I've enabled some extra logging to find out what caused it. - Benjamin Golub

Significantly increased the memory allocated to the database for caching; hopefully that helps with the slow load times RSSmeme has been exhibiting
