We passed our two millionth user signup at the beginning of this month. Because we’ve been very busy keeping up with the load, we didn’t have time to come up with something up to our normally high standard of wit (I was going to refer to server smoke but it seems I did that last time) so here is a cat picture I found on the internet.

As part of our efforts to make del.icio.us even faster, we’re moving to a new set of servers this Sunday (12/17). This will require a brief site outage, which will begin at 12:00 noon Pacific and is expected to last two hours. We will be posting updates to this blog throughout the process. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience. We’ll get it done as fast as possible.
Updates:
12:10 PST We’ve brought the site down and have begun doing upgrades.
12:46 PST Adding more servers …
1:05 PST Reticulating splines
1:51 PST Almost done, working on a few problems
1:59 PST Getting ready to bring the site back up
2:06 PST Brought RSS back up
2:23 PST Brought API back up
2:38 PST Main site is back up. Doing some cleanup behind the scenes.
3:06 PST All done. Please let us know if you see any problems.

While looking at some data, I noticed that pictures on flickr are some of the most saved pages on del.icio.us. A quick flurry of instant messages later, and now we automatically show a thumbnail of the saved photo. To commemorate the occasion, I have expanded our Blogging Policy to allow photos of small dogs in our “cat pictures” category.

In the interest of increasing communication with our users, I’ve decided launch ourselves into the blogosphere and begin a corporate blog. We’ll talk about del.icio.us, upcoming features, site status and cat pictures. We also will be using it as a showcase for our coming blog integration tools and to highlight some of the great stuff people have done with the API.
