Salesforce.com Against the Downtime Ropes Again

Well, the vultures are circling again. Looks like SF.com had some downtime again this month. 3% of their market cap was shaved off by this. I actually have to stand up a bit in support of SF.com on this one. All the major services I use now-a-days (Google included) are buckling under their growth. SF.com is growing with unparalleled speed, they are doing this all with a database back end (as opposed to just publishing pages like a blogging site), and in general they do a good job of it. We use SF.com at Newmerix and these blips don't deter me one bit from enjoying the simplistic utility of it. Lets give em some room to work out a better architecture and handle their growth.
