The latest version of Woopra is available for download. Those with approved access will receive the update automatically when they log into Woopra. If you haven’t been alerted to an update, log out of the program and then log back in and it should automatically upgrade.

For those awaiting approval, many are being notified as you read this that they’ve been approved. We’re approving users in small groups, testing the new servers to ensure the transition goes smoothly, for all parties involved.

Fellow Wooprites,

A few weeks after introducing Woopra beta in WordCamp Dallas, we are happy to announce that we are going to start a massive approval process on Friday 25 of April. A new version of the software will be released on that day that includes a couple of new amazing features (segmentation, directories tracking, improved user interface, enhanced instant messaging etc…). Note that you will receive an email upon approval.

We all thank you for being patient and supportive. Questions? Ask in the forums!

Folks,

I see that we currently have a few hundred requests in the queue for tracking on WordPress.com blogs. While Woopra loves WordPress (I’m friends with Matt, and we even use WordPress for this site), WordPress.com does not currently allow the implementation of any Javascripts on WordPress.com blogs.

This is mainly a feature for the protection of the WordPress blogging community. If they allowed the use of Javascript all over the blogs there would no doubt be malicious or harmful code inserted by people.

Having said all of that, if your blog is on WordPress.com and you really want to be able to use Woopra, you absolutely must go to the Add Woopra to WordPress.com discussion and chime in. Until there are a large number of requests, you guys simply aren’t going to get Woopra.

The following Woopra badges are Joel’s idea from DotNetWizard.com. Thank you Joel for stepping up and creating the first Woopra loyalty badges! He did a fantastic job with these:

In addition to Joel’s, here are the first “official” Woopra Loyalty Badges:

Shane of vBulletin has released the Woopra vBulletin Plugin for vBulletin users of Woopra.

Shane’s Woopra vBulletin Plugin allows vBulletin users to use Avatars, auto tags and custom data within Woopra. VBulletin users can use Woopra without the Plugin, using the Manual Installation method, but the added features make using the Plugin worthwhile.

Woopra users must have an active account for their vBulletin site. The Plugin is installed on your Products page. Just enter your Woopra Website ID Number under your Forum Settings options to interact with Woopra.

For more support and answers to your questions regarding the Plugin, see the Woopra vBulletin Plugin page.

There currently is a Woopra WordPress Plugin, and you can get more specifics on installing Woopra in the Woopra Installation Guide.

This plugin is among the first for Woopra. If you are interested in helping integrate Woopra into different blog, CMS, and website platforms, please let us know.

Hello Woopra fans!

It’s a beautiful day here in Frisco, Texas and I hope it’s nice wherever you are too!

Joy and Pain

Well, it’s been an exciting week in Woopraville. (Hey, maybe we need a Second Life island called Woopraville?) We’ve seen the joys of some of our users experiencing Woopra first hand:

• techAU’s Podcast Episode #28 (a complete video review)
• Dot Net Wizard’s Woopra In Action
• Charles McKeever’s Getting Realtime Analytics With Woopra
• Johny’s Woopra Live Web Analytics in Action (a 10 minute un-narrated demo)

(By the way, if you’ve done a review please drop us a link in the comments as we’re having a hard time searching Google for them…)

Dear Woopra-ers? Wooprites? What are we going to call ourselves?

Anyway, on behalf of Elie Khoury, Jad Younan, myself, and the rest of the Woopra team I’d like to welcome you all to our little community! After what was intended to be a small, private beta release to 200 people at WordCamp Dallas, we’ve been experiencing extremely high demand, and are working as fast as possible to turn up capacity in order to ensure we can get an invitation to everyone.

In addition to working on the Woopra application and infrastructure, we’re finding new ways to communicate with all of you and we truly hope that you’ll take the time to talk back to us. The launch of the new Woopra Blog is an important milestone because we’ve been unable to keep up with the huge number of incoming e-mails. As a result, when we notice trends on the inbound e-mail we’ll put out notifications with updates via the blog, so please take a moment and subscribe for updates.

Equally important however, are the launch of the new Woopra Forums! Our hope is that the forums will help everyone with installation, troubleshooting, and feature requests. We’ll be manning the forums as much as possible, but we sure would appreciate it if everyone could pitch in and help us answer questions for newbies once in a while. We are really dependent on the community to step in and help us out a bit in this area.

Once again, the entire Woopra team is very excited, and we’re working around the clock to make sure we don’t waste a moment of time getting the service out to everyone who wants it! Please drop us a line with comments and encouragement. Since we’re not getting much sleep, we could use it!
