SOS to the SMS
Uh Oh, seems to be a little glitch in the SMS sending mechanism. We are aware of it and fixing it, will provide an update soon.
You can also take a gander at our system status page for the latest updates.
Faster and More Secure
Hey Pingers! Just a quick heads up, we have poured a ton of time and resources to increase some speed on our web server. We have six servers now running Pingie to keep up with the demand and I’ve been VERY pleased with the results.
Along with that we have done a TON of back end work but the most apparent user change is that now ALL traffic is SSL encrypted - Yup, we have a lock! So now you can feel extra safe that your information is no longer transfered in the clear!
Ping on!
Dear All Pingie Users, (aka FINALLY a BLOG UPDATE!)
I have been very lax in updating this blog and I intend to change that today.We have been going through some growing pains and although we have a great support team and development staff to solve the problems as they arise we have not directly informed the user.
That being said, I’m working on a redesign of the blog and intend not only myself to blog, but open it to the developers and customer service department so you can get a better insight into the company, how it works and just indulge in our technology.
By my own admission the growth at Pingie has been phenomenal - and the latest changes we are doing is to try to balance quality, value and performance all while keeping the product free.
I thank you for being a subscriber and can’t wait to post another update VERY soon!
-Dan
