We think parts of the blogosphere will break because of load and growth.
More Quotes from Mike Graves:
On the back side, we see pings from Blogger. com, and an enormous number are splogger pings. Google obviously has a filtering mechanism in its own perimeter. They use search and textual analysis tools, quickly and fairly accurately, I'd say. You'd likely find two or three out of 50 that are spam blogs.Mike Graves
They're fairly sophisticated, template-driven to provide a specified blog with appropriate posts and pages, a thousand at a time, ... But inevitably they leave some kind of structure, some kind of signature behind, that you can say, 'Ah ha, that has the fingerprint of tools out there that create these blogs.'

Privacy guardians take note Authentication doesn't mean personally identifiable information. We've become very keen on making sure we take pains to differentiate that identity is one thing, but authentication and credentials is another, ... We can provide identity tools. They can be anonymous. There's no privacy issue involved. Identity is a way to tell A from B, just to tell that A is not B. As long as you know I'm not somebody I'm trying to pose as, that's very useful information.

Last Thursday weblogs.com processed just under 2 million (1.96M) pings for the day. When we started talking with Dave Winer, owner and founder of Weblogs.com, a couple months back, the ping totals were barely half of that, and the load even then on the servers made pinging Weblogs a chancy proposition during peak posting times.
