Foursquare: Yeah, The Thing We Said Wouldn?t Happen, Happened; Down 6 Hours Yesterday

In a post entitled "Quite the way to celebrate our 200 millionth check-in", Foursquare is once again apologizing this morning for downtime yesterday. It was only yesterday that a long, fairly technical explanation was written on the same blog going over exactly what led to 11 hours of downtime the day before.�At the time, Foursquare wrapped it up, noting: "So we now have more shards and no danger of overloading in the short-to-medium term."

Whoops. That seems to be exactly what happened again yesterday.
