This wouldn’t have normally bothered me, since thousands of people experience it on websites like MySpace everyday, but I just performed a search on Ask.com and it came up with a “Too busy” error message:
It seems in an industry as competitive as search theses days, a major player like Ask should have more than enough server power to handle any spikes in traffic. Turning away searchers is losing potential ad money and losing a little of that person’s trust. If Google started throwing up these messages, every blog in the blogsphere would be all over it… but people rarely notice a site like Ask.com. I suppose that’s why it’s no surprise Google is number 1. If Ask wants to compete, they need that same level of near-perfection Google has developed, especially on an infrastructure side.

How did you set up the series of buttons on the bottom?
I am using Wordpress.

Justin, it’s a great plugin called Social Bookmarks.
You can get it here: http://www.dountsis.com/downloads/

Hi Harry, don’t you think that one button is the better way to provide social bookmarking on your blog? You can use AddThis button from AddThis.com, as image or as a text. I really like this service =)

Florchakh, I’ve seen AddThis before, but with this theme I’m not really cramped for space, and it does add a little touch of color having a line of buttons, haha. I’m not really worried about it, but as I tweak the interface later on, I might decide to go that route.
Thanks for the suggestion though.

Anyway, trying to find one of nineteen icons placed on your screen set in high resolution is something really difficult, don’t you think so? :>

Ah, that is a very good point. Maybe I need to reconsider.
Later today I’ll try AddThis out and see how it looks / works.
