The Scaling problem affects not only Netvibes but also other Social applications like Twitter

The problems that many Netvibes user are facing in connecting to their Netvibes page (see my previous post) is with great probability linked to a Difficult Scaling process.

Like all Netvibes' users I have access only to public news from Netvibes: corporate website, blogs, ... and nowhere I found anything interesting on the technical side of Netvibes.
So, it is jsut a matter of guessing...

But, reading the Web 2.0 news you understand that the big scaling problem Netvibes is finding these days with the upgrade and functioning of its Ginger release is not limited to Netvibes but it is spread to all Social Services and Applications.

If you are interested, read this very interesting post on "how to make Twitter scale" (Twitter and the Architectural Challenges of Life Streaming Applications , written by Alex Iskold for ReadWriteWeb ). You will understand how data have to be distributed and why problems occur.,

PS:
Could somebody from Netvibes confirm or deny and give Netvibes'users more news on this and other technical subjects ?
I am sure that it is easier to accept a problem when you know and you are informed than the contrary ;)

Many Netvibes users complain about long uploading time

Hi,

I was checking reactions on the Web concerning the future Ginger release on Netvibes when I noticed that the main complaint about the service was the " TOO LONG UPLOADING TIME" for charging the Netvibes page.

I agree, at the moment using IE or FF looks quite the same, the loading time is a bit too long.
Of course, with 318 line feeds just for my Tabs on Netvibes, it would surprise me if it was very fast... But how could I reduce this charging time ?

If you have suggestions write them here.
By the way I have more than 30 different tabs on my page... among them:

Complaints for Too Long Upgrade

Hi,

as many others, myself and a lot of Netvibers are complaining on the Netvibes Blog for not being able to access their personalized Homepage: Netivibes is now down fore more than 9 hours !!!

Could a solution come from the use of one of the 19 mirror Netivibes URL that could be work like a Google Cache version of our own Netvibes Page?

Wait and see
