You know, I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that it hadn't occurred to me that we were spending all this time and resources on a site which ultimately, is out of our control. Kind of frightening yet at the same time I have no intention of letting up on our Facebook and Twitter marketing as they've been a big help.

Support federated networks like StatusNet. Get your own hosting with an SLA and brand your site. The federation means that all others on the platform communicate with you seamlessly whether users are on your server or on the other side of the world.

Twitter goes down when the world cup matches are going on. 3 more games coming up. I reckon they'll be fine after that.

Second Life servers haven't gone down like that for about two years now - do your research.

There is actually an alternative to facebook coming out this fall. It’s called http://www.somethingcoolhappened.com. You can preregister now at that address. You will be able to upload videos, pictures and stories of something cool that has happened to you or someone you know and you will also be able to create your own custom avatar! Very cool! You should check it out.
