Possible trouble with AudioBoo and social media updates

I can’t believe I forgot about this. Turns out that A-LA is taking place at the same time as the ginormous Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Which is heavily attended by geeks. Who tend to use Web 2.0 and social media (such as Twitter, Facebook, and AudioBoo) to their fullest. And when these Web 2.0 sites experience heavy usage, they typically fail. Spectacularly.

This might pose a problem for me sending updates via these services.

At the moment, AudioBoo is complete fail. (Editor’s note: while typing this post, AudioBoo returned to service. It could be due to some problem they’re having that’s not related to CES. We don’t know.) Twitter, surprisingly, is actually responding fairly quickly – not a fail whale in sight. (How long this will hold up is anybody’s guess.) Same with Facebook.

Of course, the Otaku no Podcast website is not affected by this whole CES madness (besides, it’s not like we have an army of listeners yet, after all :P)
