gada.be Going Strong
Despite a few “minor” setbacks (some of which we're in the process of resolving), I've got a few relatively “major” updates to give you about our still-running-strong megasearch service, gada.be.
- We have an official Updates page / feed.
- We've undergone a major rewrite of the “fetcher” code, with the ability to grab (and parse) up to 10,000 sources per request.
- Our server situation is much happier now, and we've been continually tweaking performance to where it's rock solid.
- Make an image request to see this puppy shine.
- Google doesn't like subdomains, so we're working towards “compliance” by keeping the subdomain request intact, but redirecting to (and ultimately building links for) a more “standard” URL. This redirect happens automatically. You'll notice the change immediately, and it'll make gada.be a bit more tagspace friendly.
- Every Tuesday, we'll be rolling out a new feature for gada.be – you can count on it. Some updates will be large, others will be not-so-large.
- There are a few bloggers using gada.be in their entries, including BlogsOfWar
- We have a WordPress plugin.
- We have a Blojsom plugin.
- We're a part of the Ultimate Tag Warrior now.
- We're looking to add user accounts within the next couple of weeks.
- We're considering open sourcing part of the project (if there are any interested developers out there).
Go ahead – give us another shot. Hammer us (and we should be able to survive it this time).
