Earthling

Note: The below is an archived entry from Earthling, formerly EarthLink's official blog. The blog itself has been decommissioned and is no longer updated, and comments are trackbacks are no longer accepted.

I only got hip to it recently, but judging by the archives Dreamhost's blog has been around for at least a year. It's due for a best. Whether they're talking about a legendary company kickball game, revealing some of the spam complaint calls they get, or taking on the issue of large scale outage problems head-on and with aplomb, it's all good stuff. It's just one of many nice customer communication tools they've got.

They publish less frequently than many blogs (maybe once every week or two), but each entry is meatier, better produced, and funnier than what you'd probably get if they did it every day. It's just a good read, even if you're not a Dreamhost customer and aren't shopping for a web host. And if you are a customer of theirs (I've been hosting stuff with them since 1999), it's as much a source of information as it is entertainment.
