We're leaving our logo censored a bit longer than the 'official' day of action that occurred on Jan 18th. The threat of overreaching censorship that could change the very fabric of the Internet we all know and love is still very real.

Please join us in continuing the fight to make everyone aware of exactly what these proposed US bills (and others like it around) could mean for the Internet.

Hi Guys,

As some of you noticed your historical data may have been blank for a brief period of time today, it will be back shortly if not already.

We lost network connectivity between some important machines and had to run on backup systems for a few minutes, while we transitioned things over to work around the lost connectivity. This has happened before and we (and our datacenter) are taking steps to prevent it in the future, those changes should be complete within a week or two and will really help things out as we prepare to launch a ton of new features in the very near future.

Thanks for bearing with us during this brief glitch and don't forget to follow us on Twitter, we try to post updates in real time there: Twitter Feed.

You may have noticed that a number of your favorite sites are not available today as they voluntarily black out their sites in protest of the SOPA and PIPA bills racing through the US Congress. We have joined in by censoring our logo for this day of action.

These bills (and others like them both in the US and abroad) have the power to drastically alter the very fabric of the Internet. Sites could be taken offline for simply linking to other sites.

This is not the way to attack the problem of piracy or anything else governments deem a 'problem'. We (as do many others) believe it would be a huge mistake to allow anything of this nature to become law. The Internet needs to remain free and open and no one should have the power to alter that.

Even though this is a US bill, if these bills were to pass, the effects would be far reaching and global - don't think you would not be affected if you are not a US citizen. Furthermore, there is talk of SOPA and PIPA being shelved, that is great - but that doesn't mean they won't come back in some other form.

If you have a website (and even if you don't) please consider joining in this day of action to make your voice heard. Read more about what you can do at americancensorship.org and one of the few non blacked out English Wikipedia pages. Tucows also has a great description of things over at their blog, as does Google - give them all a read.

We strive to respond to all of our user inquires as quickly as possible and I have to say we do a pretty good job with emails being answered in mere minutes a lot of the time and at most a few hours - providing top notch customer service is something we pride ourselves on.

So on that note, if you have emailed us and not received a response, make sure you check your spam or junk mail folder as sometimes our responses to you can end up there. In the same vein, if your spam filter is setup to auto delete messages or not deliver them to you at all then it is possible you may not get a response from us. If you have any sort of system like that you may want to explicitly whitelist whos@amung.us or any amung.us email address.

Enjoy the new year!

Hi All,

We've made some changes to the way the red tab widget is handled in mobile browsers. The tab widget being the one that can be positioned at a fixed location along the browser edge of course, instead of being positioned at a specific location within the page content (like our other widgets).

After consulting with mobile users we've found the number one feedback issue is that in some mobile browsers the tab takes up too much screen real estate when zoomed in on a specific part of a page making it hard to read the content you're interested in. So, depending on the mobile browser you are using, you may notice that the widget does not appear along the browser edge when you load a site with it installed as you may be accustomed to. This is now normal since we've removed the rendering of the widget for some specific platforms/browsers that don't handle it all that well. For you website owners, don't worry the mobile user visits are still represented in your stats.

We'll make more adjustments as we test more platforms in detail, but if you notice any problems or have any feedback, please let us know, we always want to hear from our users and do our best to accomodate everyone.

Stay tuned to our Twitter feed at http://twitter.com/whosamungus for exciting new stuff coming very very soon ;)
