too much success = fail

The Europeana site is temporarily not accessible due to overwhelming interest after its launch (10 million hits per hour).

We are doing our utmost to reopen Europeana in a more robust version as soon as possible.

We will be back by mid-December.

For a preview on Europeana and further information.

how bored are you? just click on the damn link

Europeana – the European digital library, museum and archive – is a 2-year project that began in July 2007. It will produce a prototype website giving users direct access to some 2 million digital objects, including film material, photos, paintings, sounds, maps, manuscripts, books, newspapers and archival papers.

When I read it, in my head I pronounce "Europeana" is "Euro-pee-na," which sounds vaguely dirty.

"Euro-pee-an-na" sounds like a slangy "You're a piano."

Really? Cool stuff, never heard of it. I guess they promoted it well enough though. But excellent, I'll be waiting for the launch next time.
