GOP.com, the Republican's new social networking site that launched today, was filled with glitches and crashed in hours, according to the Christian Science Monitor.
"[The new site] takes advantage of various online tools to connect Republicans and concerned Americans across the country to each other and party leaders, creating a larger, more informed, more organized, and more energized Republican community," Steele told the Associated Press today.
But early this afternoon, bloggers had found a mass of bugs and glitches, including repeated php problems. By 3:30 p.m. EDT, GOP.com slowed to a crawl, eventually shutting out users. The official cause? A network error.
I know, funny, right? But it gets better. Apparently the site crashed under the heavy pressure from those seeking to mock it.
"You know your web program is in trouble when your site can't even handle the traffic bump from people making fun of your web program," Joe Rospars of Blue State Digital told TPMDC.
Since the site may still be super slow, if you'd like to see screenshots of it, check out this diary.
Not much of a diary, but it made me laugh so I thought I'd share.
