Geeky Peek

We rolled out a bad build at 3am last night that caused some of the googlevoice beta users to get each other’s googlevoice messages. I humbly and deeply apologize, your data is of course extremely important to us.

Only 12 people are using the googlevoice service (of many, many thousands of Peek users around the world). Most of those twelve people I know very well. Its a bit frustrating that 12 beta users results in a major blog covering the issue, but I guess we deserve it, sending another user your personal data is very, very bad. We do try to get real-people using new functionality as early as possible, and we clearly released googlevoice a bit early so user’s could try out the sending functionality. I apologize.

As for the other issues mentioned in the article – there was a load-related outage on July 4th for several hours. Annoyingly we had been having quite a good stretch of availability until that happened.

I’m also slightly annoyed that crunchgear said they tried to reach out to us, I’m still waiting for the email myself. Its not like we hide our results… I even posted our uptime stats for about 6 months in straight a while back.
