UNTHINK.com
Within minutes of opening to the public, hundreds of thousands of people raced to UNTHINK.com to sign up, overwhelming the site, leading to slowdowns and system-wide crashes and the traffic has not let up. The company apologized to early adopters in a statement:
“We received hundreds of thousands of visitors almost immediately upon launch. We are incredibly grateful to the public for its enthusiastic response, and we apologize for the kinks and delays they have faced. Please rest assured that we are learning from this experience and are working to maximize UNTHINK’s responsiveness and improve its capacity.
“UNTHINK had more traffic in one day than we had anticipated getting in an entire month. The overwhelming demand reflects people’s enthusiasm for a viable alternative to existing social media. People are anxious to join and invite their friends to a site that mirrors real life, empowers individuals, and provides true privacy and true control. We thank everyone for bearing with us as UNTHINK realizes its full potential.”
Within the first 24 hours, UNTHINK received heavy traffic from all over the world. The site has already tripled its server capacity and is adding more to meet demand, during which time the site may be down.

If they thought they could take on Facebook and G+ then they would have anticipated the traffic. How do you not plan for something like this?
What really happened is that unthink didn’t think about the magic word in social media websites – scalability. Their little server farm in Tampa was hit by several DNS attacks from social media groups and within fifteen minutes they went down, and stayed down almost 24 hours.
Just shows that they do think, but they think small, and they don’t have the people or the hardware to bite off the big chip on their shoulder as they watch other sites like fb, linkedin, youtube, unation, and twitter grab all their eyeballs and advertising revenue.
Who names a website glorifying stupidity? might as well call it forestgump.com.
