seems that a few of the popular hosted services are having problems - typepad and del.icio.us have been down in the last week, and bloglines had a news item recently warning that they are struggling and are soon to be moving to a bigger datacenter to cope.

It's to be expected really as these things get more popular, but it gets people upset, even if it only actually causes minor inconvenience (what? you mean I can't get to my daily bookmarks today - how will I cope? gahh!!!.. I can't get to my blog to blog how angry I am about it! etc).

For business services obviously the inconvenience is greater, and has a financial impact. (Don't make me say "time is money"- it's not - but that is a whole other rant). Anyway, not sure where i'm going with this...
