title: Bebo application platform is turned off!
description: Bebo is slow. Sorry! It's been growing a lot recently and we're not quite keeping up with the demand. Even though apps has nothing to do with the problem, we turned off apps temporarily to help reduce the load. We're working hard on a permanent fix and hope to have it all working fast again soon.

This means, of course, that [Doorbell](http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=5410592098) and [Inner Circle](http://www.bebo.com/Profile.jsp?MemberId=5542684875) for Bebo are down. The good news is that the Bebo developers seem to generally be on top of their game, so I don’t expect this to last too long.
