Yahoo! is about to offer MT and WordPress blogs. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051212/wr_nm/media_yahoo_blogs_dc -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
"Six Apart said it had optimized the underlying software in Movable Type so that it responds twice as fast as the same software offered by Six Apart's own Web site." This would imply that the optimizations are possible because of Yahoo!'s configurations and environment, and wouldn't be possible for the general software, no? Dries Buytaert wrote:

They modified the code to run under FastCGI. This is a chunk of the announcement from the MT developer's list: This should be a particularly attractive option for ProNet members who need to launch sites for clients that want to get up and running with MT in a hurry: You just sign up and go, and there's no installation required. Plus, a bunch of popular plugins (such as BigPAPI, StyleCatcher and a WYSIWYG editor) are included in the install.
We'll also talk more later this week about the work we've done with Yahoo to help them run Movable Type under FastCGI. As those of you who've experimented with FastCGI know, this means MT runs a **lot** faster, with our benchmarks consistently showing improvements of up to 150%.

150% faster compared to what setup? CGI? Big surprise.... But it is nice to see fast-cgi getting some attention. Drupal does not need any modifications to run under fast-cgi and does so very well. In fact I recommend to use fast-cgi due to performance issues compared to cgi and due to security concerns compared to mod_php. IMO, one of the reasons for not chosing Drupal for such a setup would be the admin/modules page which will gobble up all your memory if you have a lot of modules. Cheers, Gerhard
Okay I'm a new drupal users (was using postNuke for years) does this mean that I can use MT's "talkbacks" from my blog? I would love to have links on other's blogs when I discuss them on mine. Carl Parrish http://www.carlparrish.com

Here is a better rumor: http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/ 005869.html. It's reasonably obvious that Wordpress (or Wordpress.com) are going to be used/acquired by Yahoo!. Surely, that would be exciting news for the FOSS community. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
