Hoststats enabled again

The account from hosttracker.com was suspended because I had more than 2 URL in the trial account. I switched to the Free account and not it is working again.

Tinymailto slashdotted! Well, sort of ...

Tinymailto is currently on godaddy after a link to the site appeared on the front page of Slashdot:

http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/04/12/1737218

The response should much better, like 150ms more responsible and much much faster download rate.

Also, uptime should be near 99,99% now ;)

New tinymailto version

There is a new version of tinymailto uploaded today, version 21-jan-2008.

The new version include:

• spellcheck/typo update, thank to Ryan from http://www.chimoosoft.com/ for the detailed email containing all the corrections
  
• a link back to the referrer page, as suggested by Daniele from http://www.bitlet.org/
  
• new about page, reflecting the actual status of tinymailto (no more an experiment)
• new retrieved page, a smaller page
• form input enhancement: size, javascript focus, tabindex(don't focus on the image)
• new top message on all pages: appears after you create a new tinymailto URL and in the case you click another link and forgot what your tinymailto URL code were
  
• PHP5 ready: this version works fine on PHP5, the version that will be used on godaddy hosting in the coming months (if all goes well)

I hope you like it, and please send me any kind of feedback and wish lists, here in the blog or via the about page. Thanks

Enjoy!

Happy 2008 Stats!

Happy New Year 2008!

Here are some stats from tinymailto.com since the start until today:

• 457 tinymailto URL created
• 13836 page views
• 5364 unique visitors, from 97 countries
• Total uptime:99.62% Downtime:17 hour(s) 33 min(s) (from apr-2007)
  

Moving to godaddy, maybe ...

I'm planning to move tinymailto to a godaddy account in 2008.
If all goes well, and I have the extra money left, I think it would be a good thing to move to a dedicated hosting plan.

Our current hosting has a nice uptime(not perfect), but the bandwidth is a little limited.

Paypal button

Its has been a while since the last post. I has been traveling(work related) and meanwhile my tinymailto ToDo list has grown a little bit :)

Today I added a paypal.com button, if anyone is interested in doing a donation. Amounts starting at $1 are welcome :)

Domain payed for 2007/2008

Just payed the domain tinymailto.com for another year!
Also, the first aniversary of tinymailto.com is comming next 6/8/7 (06-aug-2007)

Captcha tunning

The captcha used in tinymailto.com is kcaptcha, I changed some parameters and upgraded the version to the latest, version 1.2.4
Now it uses only 4 letters/numbers and the background color is the same as the page

Nedstats/Motigo deprecated!

I delete the counter of motigo(formelly nedstat) because now they show ads without your permission!!!

"With the use of motigo products and services on the site it is accepted that WMS has the right to place advertisements on the site in any format or through any channel, including but not limited to e-mail, layer ads, pops, banners and other usual formats without any forewarning and it is furthermore accepted that WMS takes no responsibility for the advertising content and that WMS shall not be liable for any losses incurred regarding this advertising."

Motigo sucks :(

Web uptime monitoring

Just added a web server uptime monitoring in tinymailto.com

The service is provided for free by http://host-tracker.com/
Is really an usefull site, so I recommend it. It has monitoring rate up to 1 minute, and reports from dially to anual basis.

A few days ago it seems that all Internet in my country went down, I have another server on another ISP and suffered the same downtime in the same timeframe.


Hope it helps

Nov-2006 Stats

Hi all,
the tinymailto stats posts are a little out of date. Here are some numbers:

• tinymailto URLs created: 226
• pageviews: 7,279 (google analitics)
• average visits per day: 15 visits

The page views stats are normalized in previous months, and the visits per day are low but constant.

October 2006 news

Hi all, this post is part of the monthly tinymailto newsletter.
tinymailto keep going fine, we have 209 URL created so far!

The site is much faster without google adsense, also looks a little better. No news yet about the ajax idea, I hope to get some time soon.

Greetings from a friday-13th night ... :)

Adsense no more + ajax popup

I'm planning deprecating the Adsense for tinymailto.com, so it will load a little bit faster.
The Firefox button should stay.

More ideas - ajax popup
I'm planning learning about AJAX in the near future, I'm choosing a book right now. My idea is to put tinymailto.com in your page.
A click on you tinymailto.com URL will popup a litle window pointing to tinymail.com, you will only have to enter the captcha and there you go, your email is clickable.
If the user closes the popup, he must do all over again.
The popup will not be a window, but a html element, something like: amazon wish list popup, google calendar dialog popup for: adding a calendar, "do you want to delete your calendar", etc
That's all the brainstorming for now ...

Traffic is stabilizing after the masive visitors from stumbleupon.com, for example, until today we have 192 URLs created.

We have now like 60-70 visits por week.

Developer diaries #1

This post is just for giving a little information about the site programming decisions.

BD: for the database I used Mysql 4 with InnoDB. No triggers were necessary.
Security: I use the PHP safe_mode and open_basedir options. Also, I parse all input, especially the page names.

... more to come

Tinymailto.com, 2 weeks later

At last, I have more stats now:

• Visits: 2141 (Google Analitycs) 3007 (Webstats4u.com)
  
• Pageviews: 4881 (Google Analitics)

I have to say that 67% of the traffic comes from stumbleupon.com, thats why I added the stumbleupon button in the site. I didn't knew stumbleupon.com until I looked at the stats and I never posted anything in stumbleupon.com, so a big thanks goes for the stumbleupon.com site and users ;)
