[PW] What Happened to gethuman.com?

[Ivan Van Laningham]

Hi All--
I'm in the US and can't get there.  When I ping www.gethuman.com, the 
answer comes from 64.34.169.74, which resolves to server1.f7.net.

Corresponding answers for www.kayak.com are:

69.8.201.107, resolves to a973.b.akamai.net

Neither IP address has a useful webpage.  The former has a page with the 
word "consort" on it (probably a hostname) and the latter evokes an 
error page with "Invalid URL /" on it.

Someone not in the US should try the same pings.

Metta,
Ivan
