National Swine Flu Website… lasts 3 minutes

Like, duh!

Like, duh!

Normally I’m in awe of anything that lasts three whole minutes. Not in this case. The Government have made the typical cock-up with their latest website. Having spent the week breezily announcing that they’ve got enough stockpiles of Tamiflu to do the whole country, then ringing the bell announding a national helpline and a free website for advice, it lasted all of 3 minutes before crashing under the visitor load. I chortled to myself this morning as I heard some minister or other saying that the delay in launching the site was to make sure it could handle traffic.

Pfft.
