Growing Pains

Fellow Sharein users,

We have been experiencing a severe slowdown on our service due to a sudden spike in usage. It started about 15 hours ago when two technology blogs (Mashable and ReadWriteWeb) wrote very positive articles about us. The combined readership of these two blogs come close to 3M users.

Mashable: http://tr.my/2b7
ReadWriteWeb: http://tr.my/2Y5

We apologize profusely for the delay in our service. This has taken us a bit by surprise and we are currently working feverishly to address our performance hot spots.

In the meantime, importing of bookmarks has been temporarily disabled. We encountered far more usage in users porting over their Delicious bookmarks, many importing by the thousands! We will re-enable this feature once we address our performance issues.

Thank you so much for your patience.

Colin Wong
CEO, Sharein
