In no way minimizing the suffering and grief caused by the crashes, it was also a day of incredible growth for the weblog world, and emphasized the need to continue to develop decentralized communication systems that route effectively around outages.

A simple statement of commemoration and sympathy would be preferable to this thinly disguised advertisement. I wonder how the victims' families feel knowing that their loved ones died so that the weblog world might experience "incredible growth."
