Yes, it was very impressive. I was hoping they would be successfull, because
in a few weeks the next event will also require some interesting web site
hosting. If it had worked, then the people who follow could just copy it.
Even without a feed to push, the sites were unresponsive for parts of the
day.

I'm very concerned we still haven't proven we know how to handle big event
sites on the Internet.
