I was planning for a rolling launch for Boxxet.  Talk to a few people, get them in the system, see what they thought.  Talk to more people; have them talk to their friends.  Nice gradual launch. 

Then a story by Celeste Biever from New Scientist on Boxxet was posted on Slashdot.  I’ve heard that the slashdot effect brings joy and fear.  I will confirm that here.

The comments at Slashdot were mostly skeptical.  That’s probably right.  Lots of promises are made in the tech world and most are not kept.  Without giving access to Boxxet so people can decide for sure, what else can we expect?

We will need some time to work through the new users brought in today, but we will get it done.
