In addition to our back end developments we would like to make some look and feel adjustments. We have received great comments on our logo so we would like to challenge you to come up with a better logo.

If you have any feedback please let us know or send in your logo design. If we choose your logo we will put a banner on our homepage for 1 month with your company name or if you like your own name :-)

It has been rather quiet around Tweetburner. Our apologies for that. We are still grateful that a large group of people is still using our service and that on a daily basis our user base is growing. Due to different projects that needed our attention we were not able to give the attention to Tweetburner that it deserves :-(

We have some great ideas on how we can bring Tweetburner to a next level. In the coming period we will further work on these ideas. We are open for your ideas and would like to cooperate with other companies and individuals. Please contact us if you like to share your thoughts.

Cheers

As most of you may have noticed, today, we’re experiencing some troubles with our database. We’re doing everything we can to get it fixed and to get everything up and running smoothly again. There are some changes being made to get the “stats” page back online.

We apologize for any inconveiniance this may be causing. But fear not, everything will be back soon and better than before. The stats will be more complete and will give you more in-depth information about your Twurls. Your patience will be well rewarded!

Bright is a Dutch magazine on technology, media and entertainment and is a good read. It’s written very well and is excellent filling for anybody’s coffee table in the office or at home.

Since the Twitter phenomenon is sweeping the world and The Netherlands is not kept out of the loop, so Bright did an article (by Corrie Gerritsma) on how to become a Twitter power user. It talks about the different Twitter tools you van use and Tweetburner poped up as well.

Good idea of course, to use Tweetburner’s short url code ‘Twurl’ to monitor the attention your ad gets.

Great thinking, however, when you put a Twurl in your print ad. In this way, all those ‘way to long’ links do not fog your message and you can get insight if your audience actually can be triggered to go online for your specific ad.

Thanks Maastricht Centre for Entrepreneurship for choosing us for this purpose.

Today we found another article where Tweetburner was mentioned. Thank you Antonia Zerbisias at thestar.com

It’s exciting to see the name pop up in articles about the Twitter phenomenon. Needless to say the media is bitten by the Twitter-bug; it is no longer the domain of tech geeks, but it is hitting mainstream….hard!

With the current state of affairs we thought it would be a good idea to address the “Your stats” page issues, especially since we’ve been getting a lot of responses to the fact that we had to disable the page momentarily.

The main reason for disabling the page is that is was putting too much strain on the service as a whole. We tried quick-fixing it, but it didn’t work. So rather then letting the service go on at half capacity for an unknown period of time, we decided to freeze the “your stats” activity and let the rest of the service go on a little lighter on it’s feet.

At the moment we’re re-writing the entire page, so that when it’ll be back: it’ll really be back. You want it back: we want it back and we will make it so. Thank you for your patience, we’ll get this show on the road very soon.

Cheers,

The new team is settling nicely and we noticed that some people made video tutorials on how to use Tweetburner. Which is really cool and as a sign of gratitude we thought it would be nice to put some of these video tutorials in the spotlight.

The first one is from The Webseller Circle: http://twurl.nl/k2rp7h

The second one is, in Dutch, from Jaap Stronks: http://twurl.nl/ld5roi

Enjoy.

Tweetburner was mentioned in an atricle in Smashing Magazine written by Paul Boag.

Aside from this article, Smashing Magazine is a good read for anyone who is involved with web development and design in some way.

Today is a big day for Tweetburner. We have some exciting news we want to share with you.

Tweetburner started out as a pet project and is now considered a serious shortlinking service. We are more and more aware that Tweetburner is not only a useful service but also becoming part of an important infrastructure. Therefore we think the service deserves more attention and time to create more reliability.

A few weeks ago Michiel and I decided to focus on the future and find a team that could take care of this little bird. During our search we had a couple of good conversations with Crosspring. After these conversations it became apparent that Crosspring had the right spirit and energy to learn this bird how to fly.

Four new team members will join Tweetburner. With their combined skills they will give it their all, to make sure that the service you’ve come to know and love, will be sustained and improved.
