New Round of Woopra Approvals

Woopra News, May 15th, 2008 by John P.

Just as a quick update, we are in the process of approving a few thousand more users, so many of you will be receiving access to Woopra over the next few days.

For those of you who don’t receive access in the next 72 hours, please know that we’re working through the backlog as fast as possible while we prepare more infrastructure for the job of reliably tracking your Web site, and I’ll drop routine updates on the blog here to keep you up to speed on how things are coming.

My rough guess is that we’ll be doing a large number of additional approvals within a week of completing this current batch.

Thanks again everyone! And we’re really looking forward to reading those reviews from the folks who just got approved! Please let us know what you think!

    My fingers are crossed each time you process a batch! Eventually I’ll be part of the pool. :-)

  2. 3sulblog says:

    I’m refreshing the members area page for see if my activation was completed :-)

  3. giant says:

    I may not survive the wait…not really but approval would help quite a bit as I map out stratagies. :)

  4. lakridserne says:

    I think it’s a good thing, and cross my fingers for me is included

  5. me says:

    just created a script that reloads the members area page every 5 seconds ;-)

  6. Nahu says:

    To cope with the wait I had to find something to take away my time instead of refreshing. So I started blogging, which is kinda why I wanted woopra in the first place.

  7. idolbloglive says:

    yeah I hope I am accepted finally :)

  8. Herman says:

    I also hope to be approved soon!
    It is very bad for my health to see ‘Pending Approval’ earch time I log in.

    :-)

  9. yourwish says:

    Yay, I’m approved, can’t wait to have a look around!

  10. John P. says:

    Hey gang, you do know that you’ll get an e-mail instantly when you’re approved right? No need to keep looking at the Web site like you’re Jonesing for a fix. :-)

  11. idolbloglive says:

    just got approved. YEAH. This is actually really cool. worth the wait

  12. anex says:

    omg…woopra is so fantastic – its spectacular…everyone of us admins can have a fully featured AnalyticsCenter where u can find out who is watching what.

    Special thanks to all off woopra.

    But i have a question for now:

    This Service which u provide is so fantastic that I could not believe that it is always for free. How much would it cost in near future? Where can I see details in costs?

    Thanks in Advance

  13. Deas says:

    It’s ALIVE!!! Thank you thank you thank you! (Now I can’t wait to get home from work to try out the live client…)

  14. johram says:

    it works great! too bad i’m the number one visitor on my site :/

  15. sunsetdriver says:

    Thank you! I hope to be among the new approved!

  16. Matthieu says:

    After much anticipation, I finally received my approval this morning!

  17. [...] fazer umas três semanas que fiz o cadastro e ontem lia nos fides do próprio serviço que iam liberar mais uma leva de usuários para o Woopra. É notório que tudo o que é difícil, ou pelo menos restrito, é mais gostoso de [...]

  18. hammonddb says:

    Approved! …and worth the wait.
    Fantastic! I’m in webmaster heaven.
    Keep up the great work!

  19. friends says:

    When did you guys applied whoever is approved :s

    I think mine is two weeks or more :s

  20. Lorelle says:

    @ anex:

    As the program continues to be in beta testing, changing and evolving quickly, we are changing our commercial versions accordingly. We are planning a free version.

  21. How my username changed on the comment lol

  22. me says:

    @ friends

    Yeah, I wonder about that too…

  23. Lazy says:

    thanks for aproving another website from me.. it is really great, i love, like and tell all the people i know about woopra and they seem to love it, too. keep on that good work and that “user-non-distance” style. just can say a small german word to you: vielen dank!
    ;)

  24. Lorelle says:

    @ underestimated:

    It was changed because it resembled comment spam. It is considered bad manners in general to use non-names in blog comments. Like most bloggers, we love real names or at least legitimate sounding handles. :D

  25. Siddharth says:

    Thats a nice news :)
    I registered today itself :D
    Can I get my self activated in the same wave of updates :)
    also why do you moderate all the websites b4 letting them be activated ???

  26. Vygantas says:

    When will you fix analytics bug? I’d like to see data at this moment and it doesn’t work.

  27. balzac701 says:

    I hope that this week my site will approved

  28. Lorelle says:

    @ Vygantas:

    The next upgrade with many bug fixes and some new improvements and features is due out any moment. Woopra will automatically upgrade when you log in.

  29. randy72560 says:

    I think that we need a pending list so we can see just how far down we are.. Everytime I get a woopra email i get excited, then crash down to reality… Anyway we can get a list or somehting? Maybe an estimated approval date?? Probably save you guys some time from answering all the “when can I get approved” emails.

  30. @ randy72560:

    That’s something worth considering, though hopefully we will not have this issue at all. :D

    As for emails from Woopra, what emails are you getting that do not apply to signing up or getting approved? You shouldn’t be getting anything from Woopra via email.

  31. Arite then you can change usernam? If yes, change it to Kaleem. And also approve me lol

  32. me says:

    Does anyone have any idea how many ppl / accounts have been approved?

  33. webtechnepal says:

    Still in “Pending Approval”, hope to activate my account. I am so eager to use. Thanks.

  34. @ underestimated:

    I cannot change your username. Go to your account profile and change it accordingly. And next time, choose wiser. :D

  35. @ me:

    Over 10,000 approvals have been given out, which is a lot more than we intended. We’re working on approving a few thousand more, as John has stated in this article. That’s a lot of beta testers for a private beta testing program.

    So stay tuned. You may be next, but asking for approvals will not speed the process. Paying and migrating to more servers will. :D

  36. goldcoaster says:

    Is it one approval for each site you want tracked or an approval and then you can add all your sites?

  37. 3sulblog says:

    not me for this round :(

  38. @Lorelle VanFossen

    Now i see many with not their real names so I am fine with it now. I dont know why you single me out in this.

  39. DJSlim says:

    any idea when there will be a new beta out to fix some of the bugs :)

  40. [...] der interessierte Webmaster wohl etwas Geduld mitbringen muss. Die letzte Reihe an Freischaltungen erfolgte am [...]

  41. @ underestimated:

    I did not single you out. I fix names when I have the time. With all the work going on behind the scenes on Woopra, I haven’t had time to fix what people should not do in the first place.

    Just know that the web world in general appreciates “real” sounding names not CB handles, if you want legitimacy, branding, and authority. If you don’t, then don’t. People tend to take sincerity seriously, which is why Woopra helps turn numbers into real people with the changing of their identity from a number to a name when someone posts a comment on your website or blog.

  42. @ DJSlim:

    Work is constantly underway to improve Woopra and it’s only been about two weeks since the last update. Another one is due very soon. Stay tuned. You might miss it as it happens automatically when you log into the program.

  43. Is this approvel thing is over? its been a month now for me waiting i hope its not over yet :S

  44. colmad says:

    I love it!! Was approved this morning for our Nile Cruise website and the information I’m getting back is invaluable. What a brilliant application. Thanks so much for allowing me to use your brilliant program!!

  45. joseph58 says:

    Close to a month here…

  46. haobam says:

    I’m still waiting…please.. please please

  47. 3sulblog says:

    another month!?!?!?!??

    really?????

    i’m still crazy!!!

  48. ThirstyJon says:

    Pretty Lame. What is with the “invite” thing? I would have liked to understand that more before I spent any time with this.

  49. To think that the 15 of May was my birthday … .. well guess the approval is in the mail :)
    Looking forward to seeing woopra run and to start comparing it to the built in features of episerver.

  50. pkamm says:

    I’ve been waiting a long time for “approval” and am ready to walk away from this thing.

    You might want to re-think this type of launch.

  51. achmad says:

    People said woopra is great application but I’m not sure it’s as great as they said before I tried, and I don’t really had a chance to try,, till when should I wait for the approval ??

  52. robferrer says:

    Waiting for an invite is frustrating, but it’s a perfectly reasonably way of running a public Beta – they don’t want to overload the servers, and want to make sure bugs get ironed out before launching to more people.

    The only suggestion I would make is to post some idea of how long the waiting is likely to be when people sign up.

  53. Mihaita says:

    I’m waiting for the approval for 3 weeks now, but it’s no rush :). I can wait. I just hope Woopra is as good as everybody says.

  54. [...] inscrição há mais ou menos uns 2 meses atrás, e acredito que devo ter sido incluso na última “aprovação em massa” executada pelo pessoal do Woopra, pois recebi meu convite justamente na mesma data em que foi postado a respeito no blog do [...]

  55. osamaa says:

    Woooooooopra is so good.

  56. epoch says:

    still pending “account approval” waiting to explore woopra!

  57. davkoh says:

    Woopra is awesome. Seriously. Will it always be free?… I just got accepted and I immediately submitted another site for approval as once I took a look at the Woopra client, I just fell in love with it :)

  58. @ davkoh:

    Thank you. We are working hard to ensure that some level of Woopra access will remain free. Your support and beta testing, reporting your findings and issues to the Woopra Forum, will help us keep it that way.

  59. SoCalJake says:

    I wonder what “some level of Woopra access will remain free” really means?

  60. @ SoCalJake:

    It means that a basic version of Woopra will be free. You want more features and more sites, there will be a fee.
