Car Insurance

We are working on second challenge to enable a graceful failure. We can’t base our widget on the assumption that our servers will never fail. Everything is born with a chance of failure and we will not like to overlook the possibility of such a failure. If such a failure happens what will be the net effect on the sites using the tool? We are working hard to answer this. We want to make sure our widgets fail gracefully.

In case of failure the sites syndicating our tools will appear as if it never had such a tool, a graceful failure. Already we have achieved a good success and hopefully in a day or two we will be able to make it 100% working.

When I contacted few of the webmasters to test our tools, they had one query in common. Almost everyone said, “Hey Evan, I liked your tool and will like to embed on our site but will it make our site slow?”

I worked really hard to answer this question. It is very important that we deliver the content as fast as possible. We understand the technology better and in last few weeks we have done good improvement. Now our tools are as fast as it can be. We are delivering the plain JS and nothing can be faster than that. A simple small JS file, no database operations, no server side scripting, just plain and simple JS. Our servers are pretty fast thus it will deliver the JS file even faster.

Altogether the combination is working well. We are testing it with our Insurance news widget. I am going to embed it on my Blog sooner as a final release. Thanks to all the technical support at various forums. I had to call up many experts to give it a final touch. Now I feel more like a part of this innovation team and I am glad about that.
