We are in the process of acquiring all the servers we need to handle this usage. We’re scheduled to start installing them next week, and hope to have them come online in two or three [...]

Pop the champagne- Cheers to Spokeo 4!

by Katie

Hey bloggers! I thought I would share some pictures from our modest, little Spokeo 4 launch.

We made Harrison pop the champagne again, and I think he improved from last time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-D1W7LSKss Enjoy! [...]
