UPDATE: We’re Back in Business!

by Josh Kaufman

A massive traffic spike

It’s been an interesting 24 hours. After the launch of the new Personal MBA Manifesto and Recommended Reading List early yesterday morning, the traffic started pouring in.

Between direct traffic, RSS readers, a post from Seth Godin, and simultaneous mentions on StumbleUpon, Reddit, and Del.icio.us, my server capacity maxed out and the site was shut down. (My site visitors graph looks like Mt. Everest, so it’s not surprising my old shared hosting couldn’t keep up.) My apologies to everyone who had difficulties accessing the site during this time.

Thanks to the tireless work of Filip at Textdrive, the Personal MBA is now sitting on a spiffy new business-class server that has the ability to handle massive amounts of traffic. The blog, manifesto, reading list, and forums should all be fully operational again.

Filip and I have fixed quite a few bugs, but if you have any issues with the site, please let me know immediately and I’ll fix them ASAP. You can find my e-mail on my about page.

Thank you all for your patience, enthusiasm, and support!
