TECH TALK: Four Blog Years: Looking Ahead - Rajesh Jain

The past four years have seen significant change in blogging and the future will see more. The number of people blogging continues to grow rapidly. Technorati tracks nearly 40 million sites.

  Testimonial

"The increase in spam our users were receiving had dented the confidence in our email system. We wanted a system that we wouldn't have to think about; something that would run quietly in the background with no extra management costs, that would protect us from email viruses and stop the spam. I didn't ever imagine the system could stop as much spam as it does."
