It's not possible to embed a Synth to Windows Live Spaces. Because spaces doesn't support Iframes. :-/

It's not your computer Matt, it's loading every now and then and if it does it be in limited mode. Just a minute ago I saw a message in my embedded Synth here saying:

"The Photosynth site is a little overwhelmed just now. While we're reviving it you can still install the viewer and check out some amazing synths. Download and install our viewer, and then refresh this page.

Can't get enough of Photosynth? Please check out our blog or join us for general discussion on our community site hosted by Get Satisfaction."

Looks like they weren't quite prepared for the demand.

Reply at their forum:

"Photosynth has been under incredible demand since we released late yesterday evening. Getting ready for the launch we did massive amounts of performance testing, built capacity model after capacity model, and yet with all of that, you threw so many uploads at the service we had to throttle them back for a few hours.

At the same time, we tried to tweak a few database settings to allow us to handle more uploads and inadvertently introduced a bug that is causing a small percent of synths to fail with an error code or hang right at the end. We're rolling back that change now and that should fix the majority of those errors.

While that is being fixed, we are adding capacity as fast as we can and letting in more and synthers. Keep trying, but it might be a few hours before we can get everyone in. In the mean time, we hope you will check out our "How to Synth" video, grab a camera, head outside and start taking pictures for the next awesome synth.

No excuses; just the facts on why you are seeing these issues. We really appreciate the enthusiasm and are hard at work ironing out the issues and adding more capacity."
