Today is Scouta’s first birthday.

One year ago today we launched the Scouta web site, and started saving people time by providing recommendations for great video and podcasts.

It’s a very proud day, because the team has made some amazing things happen over the year. The site has grown in some awe inspiring ways, and not only that, but we’re just heading into even better days.

Stay tuned, but over the coming weeks we’ll announce a few exciting things:
- A flash audio player that saves you time by updating your favorites automatically.
- An API that will allow others to take full advantage of Scouta’s recommendations.
- Some partnerships and customers who are using the Scouta Recommendation Engine web service, to provide their own recommendations.

In the mean time, grab the Scouta Agent if you haven’t already, which provides you recommendations on your iTunes, iPod, iPhone and Apple TV library.

Migration done. We’ve moved the scouta.com site and associated dbs and spidering and processing servers from a couple of ‘big’ real servers into a much more flexible set of virtualized of servers that we can turn up and down for load and specialize for various tasks as we need to. More on why this is important to us will be revelaled one day soon.

It was a nice smooth changeover as far as we can see. If you seen anything broken that we’ve missed, please sing out… email us a feedback [at] scouta [dot] com.

Over the next 24 hours or so .. that is from Fri 15 Feb to Sat 16 Feb .. we are migrating the core scouta services onto a brace of fancy new servers. So, we might have a little downtime during the transfer, but if we do, we’ll be back really soon.
