White House email hosed...

Robert Gibbs, White House press secretary explains why your email may not have got through...

...The Obama administration is making the White House feel more like a modern corporation every day: the email servers were down for a couple of hours Monday.

Annoying though this must be, one senses a commonality with a typical business problem encountered by employees of many large organizations. It will be interesting to see if the much vaunted transparency will extend to revealing how they will solve this problem (within security constraints of course..).

According to some reports it was back to the telephone, photocopiers and sneakernet today...

Sound familiar?
