Yesterday we released a small upgrade that includes the following changes:
(1) Share: whenever you see a funny story, now you can share it with your friends by email. What you’ve shared will stay private between you and your friend.
(2) Unread posts tag: before, unread posts are tagged with the yellow "new" tag on the very right. Now we’ve moved these tags to the left before the date fields for better clarity.
(3) Even faster: we have upgraded our existing database servers, and we have optimized our infrastructure further to make your Spokeo experience a breeze.
Since yesterday, we have been hammered by new users from China. Thanks to the infrastructure upgrades behind the scene, most existing users should not feel any measurable slowdown. As we’ve always said, existing users are our top priority, and we will continue to improve the speed and the quality of our service.
What is with the green Ubuntu logo?
I was trying to find something that represents the concept and the spirit of “share”. The first thing that came to my mind was the OpenSource project; after all, the OpenSource spirit is the quintessential paradigm for sharing and community.
Now I think about it, it probably doesn’t make sense at all. The logical jump and analogy I made was too far-fetched, so I will take it out now. Thanks!
i think the share button is really useful. i’ve been waiting for it. finally it’s here
First thing, I am impressed by the data you have and love the notifications i get every week on the updates.
As a request, I would love to see another line item, mentioning you missed X peron’s birthday last week…
I guess should not be that big a deal, when you have that available in your db..
