- <h2>I am 12 and what is this</h2>
-
- <p>Blërg is a microblogging platform. Or maybe a miniblogging
- platform. Blërg is not sure. Blërg is a lot like <a
- href="http://twitter.com/">Twitter</a>, but aims to fix some of its
- idiosyncracies. Blërg does not want to be a full blogging platform
- like <a href="http://wordpress.com/">Wordpress</a> or <a
- href="http://livejournal.com/">Livejournal</a>. Blërg is also an <a
- href="/doc/">open source tagged text database engine</a> written in C
- that does the back-end work. Blërg's author finds it entertaining to
- anthropomorphize Blërg in the third person.</p>
-
- <h2>But what's wrong with Twitter?</h2>
-
- <p>I'M GLAD YOU ASKED. There are two aspects of Twitter that just bug
- me as an engineer:</p>
-
- <ol>
- <li><strong>Ruby on Rails</strong> - Using rails to prototype a system is
- fine — scaling up to a million hits a day with it is just a bad
- idea. As the service grew, I'm sure it cost them a lot more time than
- it saved.</li>
- <li><strong>140 characters is not enough</strong> - I routinely write
- sentences longer than 140 characters, so I can't even begin to imagine
- making a point in such a small space. This textual confinement has
- led to the rise of URL shorteners, which are <a
- href="http://bytex64.net/blog/e2256">breaking the internet</a>.
- </ol>
-
- <p>Blërg solves these problems by applying absurd reactionary
- engineering. Blërg's database backend is a custom C program that
- handles requests over HTTP and stores data in a very small and
- efficient indexed log-structured database. The frontend is done
- entirely in client-side Javascript. A single post can be up to 65535
- bytes in length.</p>
-
- <p>Which is not to say that I believe writing your service in C is the
- solution to all your problems. Clearly, this approach has just as
- many hairy problems that will bite you in the ass sooner or later.
- The best way, as with most things, lies somewhere in the middle of
- high-level abstraction and ZOMGHARDCORE OPTIMIZATION.</p>
-
- <h2>Is this a joke?</h2>
-
- <p>Yes. No. Maybe. Blërg is an exercise in constructive satire — a
- fully functional service created in a fit of hubris to poke fun at Twitter's
- engineering. It's just for fun, but no one is going to keep you from using
- it seriously. :]</p>

- <h2>Tell me more about this database engine.</h2>

- <p>Here, take a look at the <a href="/doc/#design">design docs</a>.</p>
-
- <h2>I'm a social media whore and I want to share links!</h2>
-
- <p>I've created a bookmarklet just for you: <a href="javascript:location.href='http://blerg.dominionofawesome.com/?post/'+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'/'+encodeURIComponent(location.href)">Blërg it!</a></p>
