OD working again?
I have not seen any announcements but it looks like the database timeout problems are gone, keeping fingers crossed. I guess OD has a marketing challenge, they are not generating enough revenue. I jumped at the option to become a lifetime member for $100, eons ago now. I plan to live a long time so it sounded like a great deal. But it does mean that OD is not making much money off me.
Maybe I should start donating..
I can imagine they could put ads on Facebook such as:
‘Want to share your thoughts safely, instead of to everyone you ever knew? Come to Open Diary‘
Facebook ads are expensive. Is there an option not to see Facebook ads? I didn’t think so. They don’t sell the Facebook service. They sell the Facebook users.

Yeah, I started noticing a markedly faster, improved OD functioning as of late last night. I, too, am keeping my fingers crossered! And like you, I’ve already been thinking of ways for the DM to generate more revenue… maybe a fund drive, like all the public TV & radio stations do? It may be annoying, but it WORKS! Hmmmmm… Btw, not that I wish to promote FB, nor that it needs it, but it does have the capability to restrict to whom you reveal your postings. My 2 kids, who are actually the only reason I’m even ON it, virtually never post anything publicly, I suppose for being prudent about future job possibilities.

That ad might actually work… I hope the sight is fixed, I’m tired of the time outs as well. I took the time to purchase a lifetime membership as well, not only to help OD in their time of need but because I liked the idea of being here for as long as possible. Cheers,

sounds like a great way to advertize – maybe we members could post statuses like that on facebook. only problem is that i dont want friends and family asking if they can read my diary! i prefer our od community.
