Riya open for business
We are now open for everyone. Registraton on Riya is now open for business. To register click on the signup link on the site or click here . Shel actually blogged about it first here .
We also fixed a number of bugs that were reported
1. Some accounts were not getting any more people recognized because the visual signatures got corrupted - this has now been fixed.
2. Some people say "internal server error issues" - most of these should be fixed - you might still see a few, however.
3. Numerous UI fixes were done
4. Our search engine was not been updating in the last 24 hours. That is now fixed.
5. Our client should handle special characters and non-US versions of windows better - but not perfectly yet.
My special thanks for Neelesh, Dan, Azhar, Ben, and Andy who have not slept in the last two days trying to fix the critical issues we encountered after launch. You guys are just super. Now please get some rest.


When you say these bugs are "fixed," does that mean that if I'm still experiencing problems that it is a flaw with Riya itself? Riya stopped recognizing faces in my account, and I assumed it was because of the bug. But now you say the bug is fixed, and my problem continues. What's the deal?

Thanks for the plug, Munjal, but the link to me is broken. Is this a bug? it was great seeing you the other night. I still owe you dinner for having been such a wonderful client.
