  • Mobile Chat 3: Unexpected Demand // Servers are pulled. – [Updated]

    [Update] – 15.08.08 (20.28pm)

    Twenty08 has acknowledged AOL connectivity issues with Mobile Chat 3.

    From Twenty08

    “We have no estimated time frame on the patch for this problem; however, we are diligently working and hope to have a solution soon. We will post new information as it develops.

    Just as a note, we are VERY aware of the other issues; however, we are focusing on the largest and moving down the list as we solve them.”

    As well as promising to address issues with the AOL protocol and Mobile Chat 3, one of the developers also states:

    “I understand that everyone is frustrated. Shaun and I have been working non-stop over the past few days trying to resolve these issues and there’s only so many hours in the day. We’ve brought in a number of people to help us out and we’ve been speaking with the people who are behind some of the core technologies that we run MobileChat on. We’re deeply apologetic for the hassle we’ve caused people and understand that people are furious with us. My only consolation (as of right now) is that, if you’re patient, a quality product will be delivered (as it should have in the first place!). I can offer nothing else other than the knowledge that Shaun and I will not rest until we’ve made each and every one of our customers 100% satisfied.

    I apologize for this.

    As you probably know by now, the BBC tonight broadcast a one-hour, fascinating, documentary of an untouched landscape in Guyana, South America. This landscape, untouched and preserved until present day, is thought to be full of undocumented, never-seen-before wildlife.

    This is part 3 of 3 – If you missed Part 1 or part 2, you can find my original articles, with photos, here, and here .


    Unfortunately, the recording of part 2, is no longer available from the BBC
    – although still available on YouTube!
    .

    I watched the entire documentary, and thought I’d share some of the more interesting finds …
