TextDrive's plans for the future

TextDrive has been having some problems lately. You may have noticed my server's been slow or inaccessible sometimes. They got a huge influx of new people for their VCII plan, are having a bit of trouble keeping up with pounding by spammers, and at the same time lots of people on my server in particular started playing with a new version of Rails that created problems.

The company is still very young (10 months old, I think) and is experiencing some growth problems. They needed a bunch of new servers, but it seems they needed money first. So, they opened up another round of VC, and we're in the period of transition where they now have the money and bought the new servers, but we're suffering in the meantime.

The growth problems will be resolved eventually, and I'm excited about what TextDrive has planned for the future. They're doing things very differently than most shared hosts.

Welll, I thought about the VC plan, and if they're still around in 2 years (and I'm still on it), then it would have been a pretty sweet deal. But I'm going to go for earlier gratification and spring for a new camera this spring.
