Growth and Technology

Posted by Kerry on October 26th, 2008

Hi Everyone,

Remember how, a couple of weeks ago,  we told you how much we had grown in one short year? Weeeell… We have great news and slightly less than great news.

First the Great news!
This month alone, we’ve had more than FIVE (yes, 5) MILLION unique visitors to Mixx—that’s 12 times where we were in April! We’re all really excited to see how many people have fallen in love with Mixx. So excited that we can’t get Chris [NAME REDACTED] to stop doing the Macarena around the office. So while we’re desperately trying to ignore him, we’re hard at work getting Mixx ready to handle the load so you can continue to get your Mixx Fixx whenever you need it.

Which brings us to the slightly less-than great news. Because the Mixx cup runneth over with happy Mixxers—and we want to keep you happy!—we need to migrate a lot of hardware this coming week (Oct 27-31). This may lead to a bit of downtime, and it’s entirely possible that we could, um, screw it up, what with all the Macarena-ing and all. Of course we’re doing everything to make this transition as smooth as possible, but we will need your understanding.

What’s in it for you? Why, a better Mixx, of course! C’mon, you know we can’t just move a few things around without tossing in some cool new features for you (more on this later). So, hang in there. Bear with us. And if you find any bugs, please use the Feedback link and let us know—we love to hear from you!

Now go get your Mixx on!

    [...] Well, that’s it for now! As always, let us know if you have any comments, questions or if you find any stray bugs from the recent migration. [...]
