Over on wordpress.com,

... everyone’s free upload space has been increased 60x from 50mb to 3,000mb.

I can't help but feel that this is a step in the wrong direction for a blogging platform. The assumption is that you're using your blog to manage your media. I would only need that much space because there's no easy way to access the media in the places where I've already got it hosted. If I already use Flickr for my images, if I already use Viddler for my videos, why do I want to manage those media separately with my blog? [Yes, I chose to illustrate my point with the only two media silos implemented so far for Habari. It's only because I'm biased.]

Other than that, I'm sure it will make a lot of people happy.

Owen Winkler has made a screencast of Habari's new Media Silo functionality, which provides a unified interface to different media, such as the server's file system, Flickr and Viddler, with many more to come. I love this feature.
