I've launched two new beta features for Topicala: Topicala Popular and Topicala People. Topicala Popular helps you discover trending content online, similar to Digg or Delicious, by tracking site visitors via an embedded image. Topicala People helps you find people online using hCard microformats. You can get your information on Topicala People by wrapping it in hCards and either including the Topicala image or pinging our server. These features will soon integrate directly into Topicala's main search. Try them out and let me know your feedback!
I'm developing a Digg-like platform called Topicala to help smaller blogs gain more visibility. I'm looking for beta testers with small blogs to try out the new features. If you're interested, please email me at paul.kinlan@gmail.com or leave a comment on this post.
This blog post explores the techniques used by high-traffic websites like Digg and Zooomr to handle large numbers of simultaneous users. It delves into performance optimization strategies to improve website efficiency and prevent crashes under heavy load. Click the link to learn more.
A big thanks to the first person who Dugg my Ajax Tagger on Digg (I think it was Zoodle)! I'd love to hear your feedback on it, good or bad. Let me know what you think! :)
