Folks. I have a confession to make. I’ve been secretly cheating on all of you for some time now. Oh, and to make matters worse, I’m proud of it.
Yes, you already know that a few months ago I joined Layered Technologies as the Chief Marketing Officer… but I’ve got another on the side. And she’s called Woopra. I’ve been secretly working with Elie Khoury and Jad Younan on this project, and we just unveiled it yesterday at WordCamp, making Beta accounts available for the first time for all participants.
What can I tell you about Woopra? She’s hot, smooth, smart, and sexy. But don’t take my word for it… Here is what Cali from GeekBrief had to say after just a few minutes with Woopra.
So… Do you want a taste of Woopra? It’s in VERY limited beta right now, but I will send invitations to track one Web site over to my regular readers… so if you want to give it a try, drop a comment below. You need to be a registered user on my blog, or an e-mail subscriber so that I can know that you’ve actually been a reader for a while in order to qualify. (Regular known commenters qualify too.)
If you haven’t been a long time reader, but you go ahead and subscribe via e-mail with a promise to stick around, I’ll consider handing out additional invites. :-) For anyone else, you can register on Woopra and add a Web site to track and we’ll get around to approving it as we have the capacity. (It takes a lot of infrastructure to support all this…)
Oh, and one other thing, you have to promise to do a writeup about Woopra and tell Elie, Jad and I what you think.

Totally awesome! I’d love an invite, John! :)
I am not a frequent reader/commenter, but I in fact jus found this blog looking for Woopra invites. Given the content of the blog, however, I have added it to my RSS feeder.
Here’s hoping for an invite for one of your newcomers as well! Thank you in advance!
By the way, your RSS feed is not working. I tried clicking on both the feedburner link on the right-hand side of the page and on the RSS logo in the upper right-hand corner of Firefox.
John,
Like Michael I am new to the blog as I also found your post as the number one link in a Google search for Woopra invites.
I did get subscribed to your RSS feed so it will be a daily read in my Outlook!
Thanks for the opportunity to check out Woopra. In fact, I already have the WP plug in uploaded and ready to go.
Sorry for taking up two comment slots but – of course – I will do a post about Woopra for my readers.
John,
Nevermind about my earlier comment of it not working – all seems to be good and well once more and it has been added to my Google Reader and organized into its appropriate folders – a definite new daily read for me.
Thanks a bunch!
Michael
hi john,
saw you on geekbrief this morning and woopra looks very promising! i’m currently paying for providersupport to do (what looks to be) even less.
you said at the end of the geekbrief segment, to go to woopra, register, login, add website. I got up to “add website” and then it said I needed an invitation. on the show, you said the invite happens after adding your website.
please advise, thanks!
Damn damn damn! I just tried to install the Mac OS app on Leopard and was told I need the 1.6 Java Virtual Machine.
Problem is, it seems that 1.6 isn’t supported on OS 10.5.

I guess I’m a bit confused though – did you guys develop the app on 10.4 only? Other than using a PC (boo), how can I get this app up and running? I’m DYING to check it out in its full, non-web-based glory!
One other question too -
I’m using Disqus for my comments… will I be able to “tag” users when they leave a comment? Or does it require the core WordPress comment functionality?
Totally cool, I’d like an invite for my personal site and maybe my day job. Looks like it might provide too much information… I could go all A.D.D..
Hey John, an invite for me too please!
hey john, i watched you video and even posted about it can i get an invite promise to do a break down post! :D
Oh come now, you gotta let me track all my blogs!
I was nice enough to bad mouth you all!
My Blogs don’t get much traffic!
I just hope that the code that you put on the Blog isn’t like Java or WP.com will eat it.

Looks fascinating and I would love an invite. I have posted about Woopra at the site linked here from my name and would like that to be the beta test site.
I would love to try this out, it looks fantastic. I’ve already signed up, but I’m missing an invitation. ;-)
Hi
My name is Branislav Rac and i have blog in Slovak language. I wish to write coverage about Woopra for my slovak readers. I have registered account yesterday under nickname branorac. If it is possible please send me invitation code and i write coverage as soon as possible. Btw Woopra is realy great stat service as i saw on Techcrunch. I am happy its a first realtime service. My blog is placed at http://www.branorac.sk
Subscribed! I would love an invitation to Woopra.
As for writing about it – just try stopping me! :-)
many thanks
I reported about Woopra here http://www.branorac.sk/?p=2486
Chuck – I think I read on Lorelle’s WP blgo that it currently is not working on WP.com blogs.
Richard,
You are correct, but we are hoping that people will go ahead and register on Woopra anyway because once we have enough WP.com sites in the request pool we can make a plea to Matt to allow the Woopra script. :-)
John
John, I would absolutely love an invite for Woopra. I can’t wait to test this and give you my feedback. :)
Hi John Woopra looks finei reported at my blog about service and i wish to write really detailed review. But for this i need invitation code.
I mentioned invitation code is now optional ? Great thing
I just saw that you don’t need any invite anymore, but I still wanna try it out ASAP. So if an invite could possibly speed things up, I would appreciate one. :)
I’ll subscribe for sure and report about it on my blog too. If this tool is what I saw on GB.TV, it really deserves the free advertising.
And BTW, John, when I registered, Wordpress told me that you need an upgrade. :P
Hey – something changed at the site – you can now list your website and wait for an invite code!
I am registered and waiting – so if you have not been back in the last few hours head back and enter your site info as the invite code is no longer required to register your website.
