Newsfilter: 30,000 customers in the San Francisco area lost power today at about 1:50pm PDT, in a series of power failures which knocked out a major datacenter hub: 365 Main. The hub controls servers for many social media sites, including
Technorati,
Netflix,
Yelp,
Craigslist and all
Six Apart properties, including
TypePad,
LiveJournal and
Vox. (6A's
twitter stream has updates.) More
here and
here.
Amusingly enough, 365 Main tempted fate and released a
press release today patting themselves on the back for "two years of 100-percent uptime".

Vox is the newest project by blog magnate
Six Apart. It's currently in test mode and not yet open to the public, but a select group of people has been trying it our for the past few weeks, including
MeFi's own #1.
Vox looks like it wants to combine blogging and social networking, and
aims to be compatible with different online services.

MovableType, , the blogging software of choice (well, for a lot of us), have launched a new user-friendly service on their own servers, called
TypePad (
here's the press release). Is this a first direct hit at Blogger, a service they have denied gunning for, in light of Google's move? Will it work? My vote: Hell yes. MovableType have not put a foot wrong yet, and now they've got
Anil Dash on board, the lucky tyke...

The New Yorker dedicates ten columns to
Meg,
Jason,
Ev,
Pyra,
Blogger,
MetaFilter, and weblogs, and
nobody blogs it. (Yeah, I saw M, J and E mention it, but it's as if you modest Maggies didn't want us to see it.) Probably the most appropriate journalist take on personal weblogs so far, too bad it's not online. High profile, with photo-- c'mon, this deserves bloggage!
