DNS Outage

posted by mike Mar 31st, 2007

If you had trouble getting to the site this morning, our DNS provider, moniker.com, went down for at least a couple of hours today. We’ll be eliminating that single point of failure ASAP! Sorry for any inconvienence.

Other than the hiccup with our DNS provider, things are really great. There was a nice write up of Picnik (and four other products) in Extreme Tech yesterday. Both Slashdot and Digg picked it up.

We also released a small update this week with the final piece of Picasa Web Albums authentication. We now use fully signed reqests when sending requests to Google. Frankly, you won’t noticed any difference at all, except that now the Google authentication page no longer has that nasty warning about not knowing who we are. Now they know that we’re one of the good guys and they even have our logo on the auth page. We also added a way to clear your Flickr and Picasa credentials from your account on the account settings page. This was a quick and dirty page, we’re working on a nicer account management system in the near future.

Keep that feedback coming. Enjoy!
