Upgrades!
Hi Everybody,
We'll be doing some upgrades later today (around the mid afternoon in the Pacific time zone) to improve the efficiency of our services. Specifically this will concern maps, so you may see your maps act strangely for some time this afternoon, but don't worry all your map pins are safe and will return once the upgrades are done.
We don't anticipate any downtime but there is a small chance it could occur, but it won't be long we promise.
Thanks everybody!

We've Partnered with Tynt
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!

Brief Network Outage
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 False Positive
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.

100 Billion Widgets Served!
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. :)
