Last week we released some major updates to our data acquisition systems and also a couple of new user facing features on the site. The behind the scenes changes generally boost the stability and speed of account initialization and ongoing data collection. This should mean fewer site slowdowns when new users sign up.
Also, thanks to some user feedback, we tweaked our charts slightly to add tooltips on hover and more logical presentation of results when you drill down into the earnings view for a particular site. We also added the ability to change the stored login credentials and your LookStat password. This way, if you’re changing your passwords as part of your regular security regimen, you can update them on LookStat and the system won’t miss a beat.
Thank you to all our users for your support and feedback. We’re working hard to make the system more and more useful to you. Please keep your feedback and suggestions coming.
Since I’m lucky enough to be speaking at the User Generated Content Conference (Feb 9-10 in San Jose, CA) I’ve been given a discount code which gets you 15% off when you register for the full expo pass which is about $350. They also have 1-day and expo only passes.
To get the discount, use the following code when you register: SPKRUXRP
If anyone attending is a current or prospective LookStat user, please let me know – it would be great to meet in person. I’d be happy to buy you a drink and chat microstock.
Also, if you’re in the area, an expo pass is free if you register before Jan 28.
We released an update to the LookStat service yesterday. Some of the visible changes are support for adding sites to your account and updating both your LookStat and your microstock site login credentials. We’ve also made some tweaks to charting which should lead to more readable and logical earnings graphs. We have also made some improvements to the back-end which should help up speed up account initialization and make the system more robust and fault tolerant.
James has screenshots and some really nice things to say about LookStat on his blog post about his November Earnings.
This month, in honor of the fantastic lookstat.com beta release, I’ll be using screenshots directly from lookstat for my stats. Talk about saving time! Thanks lookstat!!!
Thanks for the kind words, James. We’re delighted to have you as a user and hearing that we’re reducing the amount of hassle in your life is terrific. We’ve been readers of your blog for a little while now so it’s great to be mentioned on it.
