Didn't that site cost millions to make?
Wait, is this blog entry trying to sell their own products?
This is a better round-up of stories about the website:

- jrochkind1 13y agoA bunch of other better articles on it have been posted to HN, but not upvoted enough to make the front page. I too find this surprising, this sort of highly visible large scale web app rollout failure seems like a topic HN would like. Not sure why this one finally made it, heh.
- mgkimsal 13y agoYeah, I've figured there'd be more here about it, but it's sort of like shooting fish in a barrel at this point. Plus... it will inevitably devolve in to politics. And lastly, it's not actually working yet. We don't have any postmortem about what's actually going wrong - maybe we'll get that soon (or never?)
