Today our single server valiantly repaired itself after suffering some series of disk errors. We were down for about an hour between 11:30AM PST and 12:30PM PST.
I am moving the service to EC2 to reduce the risk of this happening again. On a related note, we’ve experienced no back-end errors on production.
I apologize for any inconvenience.

Friends,
We’ve been slowly working towards a second release… and it’s here. While we haven’t knocked out *all* of the features we wanted, we feel like the service is becoming a lot easier to use and a lot more secure.
What’s here:
1. OAuth - You securely “add” the app to your twitter account, and you never need to fumble precious passwords. This is a lot more secure, and only adds two simple mouse clicks to the hang creation flow. This is the most important change. We will eventually open-source our oauth implementation… there’s some good abstraction in there.
2. Setting a time (as well as a date) - Choose “some other time” and there’s a drop down to select exactly what time you’d like to meet up.
3. Owners can add an unlimited number of comments - Did you forget something? Do you want to add some extra data or a link to your hang? Now you can.
There are a bunch of other minor details. Please respond here or e-mail us if you have any trouble with oauth. We left the traditional login in the system because twitter’s oauth implementation seems slightly buggy. We’re going to try to iterate a bit faster. Also, we know about the front-end issues in IE. These will be fixed ASAP.
Thanks!
Phillip
