Oh Hi!

Oh hi! It's been a long time since my last post, right? Well, I, The Writer, have returned, to Write a few more words about the www.funfoll.com project. It won't be very much though, because I'm a very busy Writer, and I got other things to Write too ::- D.

As it stands, www.funfoll.com doesn't have such a happy life. www.funfoll.com isn't such a happy camper. The reason is that the popularity we hoped the website to have is much lower than what it is right now, almost a full year since the launch of the Alpha version. But I will keep hammering at it, adding content and even slowly developing several areas. Unfortunately, it's been 8 months since the website has seen serious development. This is due to the fact that our main developer had other issues to take care of. But maybe this year we will simplify some areas and introduce some new features. I'm working on a way to allow users to upload content and maybe we'll add a blog system to the website. We'll see.

For now, www.funfoll.com continues its slow evolution. We ARE getting more popular, just not fast enough. But who knows, maybe the end of 2009 has some good surprises in store.

As usual, here's some funny stuff for you!

Better Times

Things have improved, if only slightly, for our dear www.funfoll.com website. There has been a significant growth in visitors during this month, something which is very beneficial for us. FunFoll is getting popular, and it's about time, since the website soon turns 9 months since launch. We hope that during the next 3 months until we reach 1 year, we can deliver more quality content to our community and word of us will spread. Let's hope for the best.

Blog posts have been pretty rare, true, once a month, once here, once on the sister blog at WordPress. But I'm very busy with lots of projects. Also, I am the only person left in the www.funfoll.com team. I'm doing all the content adding and soon I will also start doing some minor developments at the website.

Here are a few great things directly from www.funfoll.com:

FunFoll Up, FunFoll Down

As I said on the sister blog FunFoll @ WordPress I am very busy maintaining www.funfoll.com so I don't have so much time to write here. Still, today I'm very pissed off about something, so here I am. So what happened? Our dedicated server in Germany experienced some problems today. This is because of another software we're running there, CaryCary. The Apache log also increased to a proposterous size (3.5 GB). The CaryCary log was 2.5 GB and the database 4.5 GB. We cleaned everything up and after a few hours, the server was down again. CaryCary experienced an even worse problem and the log file increased to about 6 GB.

All this happened at a moment when we needed it the least. Why? Because www.funfoll.com was in an excellent period, better than anything we experienced in the past 3 or 4 months. We had more than 4000 visits per day. And all this came to a sad end today. Due to our own mistakes (we have to admit this!), the big wave passed us and I think we will be lucky if today we exceed 1000 visits. So, it's back to square zero for now. Or at least a long way down. Right now, again, we have to wait for months in a row for our popularity to recover from this hit. We just wasted good moments because our website was nowhere to be found when people came rushing in. So yeah, I'm pissed!

And guess what I do when I'm pissed! I go www.funfoll.com and...

Sing!

Growing Up

We're very happy to announce that due to the advertising campaigns which we have recently launched for www.funfoll.com, our number of visitors has been growing a lot, which is very good, of course. We are now always above 1000 visitors per day, happily exceeding 2000 sometimes. We even rejoined Alexa's top 100K websites list. We are right now, today, ranked as 64604. Overall, for the past 3 months, we're at 139228, which isn't very good but isn't very bad either.

Of course, we hope that this growth will continue, but in order for things to be so, we need to keep working at our website, which isn't so easy right now, as we are very short in terms of resources. But the fight will continue, and we are not the ones to give up easily. We invested a lot of our scarce resources into these Google AdWords campaigns and I hope it wasn't for nothing... I hope www.funfoll.com will become big soon!

And now, something to reward you after reading such a huuuuge quantity of text ::- D.

Delay - Launch Date Switched To The 1st Of June

As I already wrote on the sister blog, we are forced to delay the launch of www.funfoll.com to the 1st of June. 2008, of course ::- D. This might be considered bad news by some, but I am not so sad about it. The truth is that this is the third or fourth delay for our website. I think I'm getting used to it. I don't mind either. The fact is that we do this for the good of this project. We do this so that www.funfoll.com will hit the market in a very good shape. We do this so that we deliver a quality product.

And the delay is not caused only by our need to fix bugs and issues that have appeared during the testing phase of the project. We also have a few functionalities to finish, including our Super Secret Weapon. As a matter of fact, the project has grown further than what was originally in store for it. It's becoming much bigger and much better than ever before imagined. We are putting a lot of effort into this and we hope that we will succeed in introducing something new to the whole world. It's hard to do this, but we strive to make it happen.

On a brighter note, www.funfoll.com has entered the top 100.000 Websites on the internet, according to the Alexa web stats company. Yesterday, we were on place 85,892, which is pretty cool considering our age and the fact that we're still in Beta stage. Of course, our target for the following two months is top 5000. We should be in top 5000 about two weeks after our 1st of June launch. I don't think it's going to be easy, but we made it this far, so we will keep fighting! And by the end of 2008, I hope we'll be in the top 1000 ::- D. Am I nuts? Sure I am. Always was, am and always will be. As somebody famous already said, I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

Popularity On The Rise

With great joy we inform you that the popularity of www.funfoll.com is on a constant rise. Things have went quite good for us lately, especially since we joined forces with www.flash-fun.com a few days ago. This brought a large number of new people to our small but growing website. We are also working on ironing out some of the remaining problems we have. There are a few bugs to fix and a few functionalities to implement.

I do have to remind everybody that www.funfoll.com is not yet officially launched. We are just popularizing because of a few partnerships we have established with some websites which now refer us and help spreading the word. But we are still far from the launch.

Because of the fact that we got more work to do at the website than initially planned, it is more and more likely that we will postpone the launch again, with at least a week. This is not yet completely sure, but we are under pressure to make the website work perfectly as fast as possible, as we have an ever increasing number of fans to keep happy about our stuff.
