This is from the Browsershots blog:Hello and welcome everybody. Browsershots is on the frontpage of <a class="user" href="http://digg.com/">http://digg.com/</a> again. Sorry for bad server performance, but there's just too many of you. I increased MaxClients? from 64 to 256, but <a class="user" href="http://browsershots.org/server-status">http://browsershots.org/server-status</a> shows that the server is still overloaded. This is the first time that the new server gets some actual load, so thank you for the testing.Some screenshots may come back blank because the server takes too long to redirect when it's overloaded. If this happens, please try again later.And for all of you wondering about the length of the queue: the maximum wait is now 4 hours, and if you don't change it from the default it's only 30 minutes. After that, your screenshot requests simply expire. That means you'll get some screenshots quickly, and some of your requests will be ignored, but the queue will always be 4 hours or less.Update: There were also some errors because the database connection limit was exceeded. I increased that from 100 to 300. Sorry for the hiccups, and thanks for posting your comments. <a class="user" href="http://trac.browsershots.org/wiki/BlogDuggAgain">http://trac.browsershots.org/wiki/BlogDuggAgain</a>

OK, but nothing has really changed on the site since the last time it was submitted. Think of a real news service on TV. Now, there are things that happened before I was born that I don't know anything about. If they showed those old stories again like they were the latest news, I know that I (and 99% of the other viewers) would get angry that the headline news is actually very old and out of date. If there had been some kind of development, then it would be fine. This would be fine if the site was just launching. It would be fine also if the service was improved or upgraded, or new features added. But just because some people don't know about it doesn't mean you should replay it as a news story.In the news today on September 7, 2006:-Two planes hit the World Trade Centre-Saddam Hussein Captured-William Shatner shocked as Star Trek is canceled after only 3 seasonsThat last one happened before I was born, I never got to see the media coverage. FOX, NBC, CNN, please rerun all those stories for me so I can see them, I missed it the first time around!!!I think I've made my point.

Can't understand why that site doesn't just email you when it's done - rather than crapping out after 4 hours.

A couple posters here mentioned the corporate account at Browsercam.com - that works if you have a group of folks that want to go in on this tool. At $25/year you can't beat the testing time. Far faster than 30 min-4 hours. But, I really appreciate the fact that Browsershots is giving a shot (no pun intended) at an 'open source' type tool to accomplish this same task. Browsershots just needs a shot (s%# - another pun) in the arm with funding to make the open source a reality - or, perhaps - get with the folks at open source? That would help gear the site up for queing time and situations like Digg overloads on the server, right?
