When Facebook Captured Beluga, They May Have Harpooned It In The Head
When Facebook acquired Beluga this past March, it was an interesting deal for them. Interesting, because they previously had only done deals for talent. But this deal, they told us, was for both talent and assets. In other words, they were also interested in the technology behind Beluga. More importantly, the plan was to keep Beluga running. And they have. Sort of.Over the past several weeks, users of Beluga have probably noticed some major reliability issues. These range from the mobile apps missing messages because they're unable to connect to the service, to the service's website being totally down. Last night, Beluga was totally down for a few hours. There was no indication why it was down, even after it came back. This has been happening more frequently. Not good.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/H2JjIppAEBw/
