Unfortunately, Zuula’s servers started developing very long response times early this morning.

Most likely, the problem started occurring late last Friday.  However, the problem is strongly linked to how many users are being served by each server, and traffic at the Zuula servers is typically slower on the weekends than on weekdays.

So the problem didn’t really become apparent until this morning, once the normal weekday traffic started to kick in.

We believe we know the source of the problem, and we expect to have it resolved in the next several hours.  In the meantime, we hope the problem won’t create too much inconvenience for you.

If you encounter server response time issues or any other kind of problem while using Zuula, please let us know by emailing us at info [Email address: info #AT# zuula.com - replace #AT# with @ ].

Also, we try to post running updates of what is happening at Zuula via Twitter at http://twitter.com/Zuula.  You also can get updates at our Facebook page here.

Update (2:40 pm ET) - We have made some updates to the Zuula servers.  The updates should take care of the server response time issues that developed over the weekend.  If, however, you still experience any significant delays, please let us know.
