I’m on the side of NewsGator – pretty happy that I’ve gone with them. Once again Bloglines is crashing (it’s been happening way too many times lately) – my view on it is they are suffering from their own success: it’s the old “tipping point” theory … they’re a great little business with a cool idea but then it takes off and goes through the roof and then comes the scaling issues – it’s easy to serve 10,000 users but add a couple of zeros onto it and watch out.

I use both and while Newsgator is much quicker than Bloglines, it’s more restricted in what you can do. I prefer the functionality of Bloglines even if the plumber make a regular appearance. It’s 9am GMT as I write and Bloglines is working as well as it ever does.

Everytime I see these, I become more happy that I migrated to Newsgator!

A database can crash because of overload, because a disk physically starts to die, because of hacking, because of overheating, because of bad configuration, because it runs out of resources, etc. There are a LOT of good reasons ;)
