Obama Predicted End Of Enrollment Health Care Website Problems Weeks Ago

President Obama warned that increased traffic could kill HealthCare.gov on the last day of enrollment at a Telemundo town hall.

Jonathan Ernst / Reuters

WASHINGTON — The Obamacare website crashed for a second time Monday afternoon, a result of what the Department of Health and Human Services told reporters was "record traffic" on the last official day of enrollment in the Affordable Care Act.

The HealthCare.gov crashes and another glitch on the White House website's enrollment deadline countdown clock were an embarrassing reminder of the snafus the administration had to overcome at the outset of enrollment on Oct. 1.

But for the traffic-related crashes at least, it was a problem President Obama saw coming. At a Telemundo town hall on the Affordable Care Act on March 6, the president warned potential applicants that HeathCare.gov could go down under the weight of traffic on the last weekend of enrollment.

Obama:

[F]or people who, let's say, started to sign up in October, the website was terrible in October. It was-- and it still wasn't very good in November. And so if you got discouraged initially, please go back and take a look and see, in fact, is it working, and can you get the information that you need.

Here's part of the concern that I have, is that if everybody waits until the last minute, everybody waits until March 27 or 28, then in some ways it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Because if you have five million people all going on the website at the same time, even if it's a great website that's working well now, then yes, there are gonna be delays because there are only so many people that any website can absorb at a single time.

HHS spokesperson Joanne Peters said Monday's site problems were caused by huge traffic numbers, albeit lower than the 5 million number Obama referred to.

"There are a record number of people trying to access HealthCare.gov right now – more than 100,000 people concurrently in the system as of noon," she said. "The tech team monitoring HealthCare.gov in real time has identified an issue with users creating new accounts."

Peters said HHS is "working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible" and noted that the problems only affect new users. "The Data Services Hub is still fully operational," she said. "Users already in system remain able to complete enrollment."

Though March 31 is the official deadline for enrollment, the administration has extended the availability of online enrollment for users who self-identify as being unable to complete registration by the end of Monday.

On MSNBC's The Daily Rundown Monday, White House Affordable Care Act pointman Phil Schiliro equated the extension to allowing voters already in line to vote even after polls have officially closed.

Organizing For Action Is Still Asking For Money After Implying They Would Stop

Yes we can….spam your inbox.

From the Times piece:

Responding to these concerns, several Democrats said Friday that Organizing for Action would cut back its fund-raising activities so the group would not be in competition with the candidates for donors. Katie Hogan, a spokeswoman for it, said, "We understand and expect that some of our more than 420,000 contributors will shift their focus to their local campaigns during the midterm season."

But OFA definitely has not cut back their email fundraising effort. The past week has seen 14 emails from OFA that included a link to donate to the group.

But OFA definitely has not cut back their email fundraising effort. The past week has seen 14 emails from OFA that included a link to donate to the group.

(Two of the above emails — "Forward this" and "We're giving this sticker away - want one?" — do not include donate links.)

Organizing for Action Emails/Andrew Kaczynski's Inbox

"As OFA has been fighting for the last year we will continue to tell the success stories of ACA and fight on issues that the american people want to see action on like raising the minimum wage. We understand that some of our more than 420,000 contributors that give an average contribution of under $40 will shift their focus to their local campaigns during the midterm season. OFA does not work on electoral politics, and will still be engaged on the issues through our more than 4.4 million action takers across the country."

Facebook Used Its Data To Map Every Baseball Team's Fans By County

Or, why everyone seems to be a Yankees fan.

Facebook / Via cdn.bleacherreport.net

Today marks baseball's official Opening Day, and to celebrate, Facebook used some of its user data to map MLB fandom across the country. Specifically, Facebook went to MLB team pages and mapped the likes on each page county by county.

Unsurprisingly, the Yankees appear — based purely off data — to be not only America's favorite team, but Louisiana's favorite team, Virginia's favorite team, Hawaii's favorite team, Alaska's favorite team, and New Mexico's favorite team. If you're a Yankees fan, this is probably a point of pride. For everyone else, the wide dispersement of Yankee fandom no doubt looks like the spread of some vile plague, a nasty pinstriped virus moving swiftly across the nation.

This Browser Tool Lets You See Anyone's Email Address Via LinkedIn

A marketing company is hijacking LinkedIn to promote its data services. And it’s scarily easy.

Via sellhack.com

If you use LinkedIn, your email address can easily be exposed to anyone with access to a web browser, thanks to a Chrome extension called Sell Hack.

The tool, first noticed by Yahoo Tech, is easy to install after a quick visit to Sell Hack's site. Once installed, a small "Hack In" button will appear on any LinkedIn profile. Users will then be able to dig up an email address associated with the user's account even if they're not "connected" via LinkedIn. A recent Sell Hack blog post notes that the site was created for marketing professionals "as an internal email finder tool for us to use when prospecting."

It's important to note that Sell Hack isn't mining LinkedIn's private data; rather it takes publicly available data (like name and work information) and then references that other publicly available data across the web to find an email address. In short, Sell Hack using is LinkedIn's brand and visibility to sell its data service.

Here's how Sell Hack describes the process :

The data we process is all publicly available. We just do the heavy lifting and complicated computing to save you time. We aren't doing anything malicious to the LinkedIn website. We think browser extensions are the best way to personalize an individuals web experience. We love LinkedIn and are trying to make it better for the community.

I tried it with my boss, since we're not connected on LinkedIn. Once Sell Hack was installed, all I had to do was click the button...
