Servers struggle as school friends re-unite

The number of registered users is growing at an enormous pace, with over three million users registered as of a few weeks ago. This group is making around 150 million visits to the website each day, continuously overloading the current servers. On Tuesday the website was to be transferred to 80 new servers, however, technical problems arose during data migration forcing the job to be postponed for the next few days. "We are not creating new connections, but only refreshing existing ones," said a psychologist Justyna Terebus. Four students established the website in 2006, while a 20% stake was purchased by European Founders fund in summer 2007 for zł.3 million. The value of the whole portal is estimated to be around zł.150 million. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p. 2) M.M.
