Foller.me is now in Beta 3

September 19th, 2009. Filed under Updates, tagged , , ,

Yes, finally, Foller.me has reached yet another level of development; a well-deserved “Beta 3″ tag has been placed to mark the beginning of new work stages. Foller.me is now running in the last beta stage (we hope) before we take off that nasty label.

The improvements that have been made from Beta 2 are:

  1. The Followers Geography is running stable, and loses it’s beta tag thanks to the efficient Google Maps API.
  2. A new Followers Rate section has been added, which displays a profile’s followers growth rate. Big shout-outs go to @boris from TwitterCounter.
  3. You can now follow a profile directly from Foller.me via OAuth; no need for your Twitter username or password. Simply click “allow” and viola.
  4. Collapsible/expandable sections are now personalized via cookies (finally)!
  5. The Foller.me Rundown (@fmrd) has been optimized after a critical fail, when we tweeted the rundown once every minute during an hour via @fmrd a few days ago.
  6. A major improvement in caching has been made.

There’s still much to be done. All ideas, comments and suggestions are always appreciated. :)

      Yes Richard, due to heavy traffic last night we got kinda overloaded. We’re investigating the problem right now and coming up with a fix shortly. Anyways, your profile is now fine. Thanks for reporting.
