Wouldn’t it be great if instead they said “Well, we don’t really give a rat’s ass about you and we’re just gonna throw a bunch of money and celeb endorsements at the problem so that in a week all of you simple morons will just forget this ever happened.”

Well, maybe thats just too long.

Every time some company screws up and they tell the public they’re “taking it seriously”, take a drink. You’ll get drunk pretty fast.

My name is Rio Caraeff and I am the CEO of VEVO.

It is true that demand at vevo.com far exceeded our traffic forecasts and expectations. All day and night we have been working on scaling up our infrastructure in consultation with YouTube. The site is working fine now and I can assure you that we take our user-experience very seriously and are working on improving our service, both within and outside of YouTube.

Thank you for your interest!

Regards,

Rio Caraeff

Better to have your customers virally expand your audience than overwhelm you on launch.

Also, facts.

My guess would be the last, since youtube can provide them with accurate numbers (and is handling the back end per http://newteevee.com/2009/12/08/bono-vevo-is-rebirth-of-music-industry/)

it’s difficult to overlook the embarrassment some people in the industry may be feeling after talking up a “revolutionary” new site, only to watch it stumble on its first day in business.<

Do you actually read what you write? That sentence makes no sense whatsoever. Difficult to overlook embarrassment SOME people MAY be feeling? WTF?
