Freebase problems

I finally got an email from Freebase after I signed up for
an
invitation.  However, when I try to register I am getting a
error
contacting server message.  I can not find any contact
information or
support e-mail address to send a help request to.  Does any
one know
what is going on or have contact information for Freebase?

The same thing happened to me yesterday, so I just replied
to the 
confirmation message, letting them know of the problem.

Their response was:

------------
We had a service outage stemming from an explosion in
downtown San 
Francisco yesterday that knocked the power out at our data
center.
Some of the services were not fully restored until today.
Would you mind 
trying to register again?

I apologize for the inconvenience.

It sounds like they may still be having some problems due to
the power 
outage.  I'd suggest waiting another day or so, then if it's
still not 
working, responding to the registration message you received
(to 
registrationfreebase.com).

working fine.
