What we have to say.

We're excited to announce that we've partnered with Tynt to bring you even more stats!

You'll notice on your stats dashboard, if you are using our javascript based widgets, a listing of text and images that people have copied off of your website. If content is leaving your site, how are you benefiting from that? Tynt allows you to add attribution links (among other features!) to content leaving your site to link back to your site, giving you credit for your work, and helps with SEO to boot!

Sign up for a fully featured Tynt account now and capitalize on the content that is leaving your site right now.

We just had a brief network outage of a couple minutes at our datacenter, we're investigating its cause (appears to be upstream) and ensuring all systems are functioning properly.

Apologizes for any inconveniences and thanks for your patience.

Comodo anti-virus is picking up part of our widget code as a false positive and we are in the process of remedying this situation with them. This is similar to what happened with Kaspersky and F-Secure about a month ago, both of whom verified it was a false positive. We are looking at ways to modify the code to prevent this in the future.

Everything is OK, and the content of the code is of course fine.

Today we have served our 100 billionth widget. That's 100,000,000,000 since we started whos.amung.us just over two years ago!

Another interesting tidbit of information is that during peak times we track 1 million concurrent users across all participating websites. So take that little widget you have on your site, add everyone else's and they add up to 1,000,000 online readers!

Thanks for making whos.amung.us so popular. :)

Hi everyone.

If you have been using Kaspersky Anti Virus products and have been getting a warning on pages where whos.amung.us widgets are installed in the past day, don't worry! This is a false positive and not an actual virus or trojan as may be reported.

I have contacted Kaspersky and they immediately confirmed that it was a false positive and the next update will fix this issue. Thanks to Kaspersky for responding so quickly!

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us.

Update: 12:53:39 Kaspersky has responded and stated that they have updated their virus definition and signature file - false positives should no longer occur. Please contact us if there are any more concerns.

Update: 14:42:18 Just verified with an installation of Kaspersky AV 2010 that the false positive no longer appears. Thanks to Kaspersky for a prompt response!

Update: 16:42:18 There have been some reports of other AV programs giving the same positive, if you are getting these notices please contact us so we can work with them to get rid of this false positive. The piece of code causing the issue has been removed until we can get everything sorted out.

Update: 18:08:00 F-Secure has confirmed this is a false positive as well and has issued an update.
