At the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco, I took some time out to speak with Michael Scherotter about the Layered Technologies grid computing technology.
Grid computing is a system whereby many computers are assembled together to create one large computing system with vast amounts of processor power, RAM, and storage.
For those of you who might recall, this is the exact platform we’ve chosen to deploy Woopra on, and if you watch the video now you’ll know why!

I’m launching the first ever (un)official Woopra Live users contest. If you’ve got Woopra, and you click on the Live tab up on the top right, you can see the number of current users on your site at any give time. I’m kicking it off with the current record. So, lets see who can beat 1,352 simultaneous users!!!
The prize for beating me will be one crisp new US Dollar. Good luck!

Capitalism is alive and kicking. I was wondering how long it would take before someone actually began selling the invite codes on eBay. Now we know!
edalechick is now offering some presumably real invite codes that I handed out at some point in the past on this eBay auction.
Frankly, I can’t wait to see how much they’ll go for!
So for the 500 people last week who wrote me asking if they could get approved, here is your chance for fame and tracking.

Folks, our friend Johny has uploaded a Woopra overview video which is so comprehensive it even taught me a couple of things about how the application works!
If you’re using Woopra currently, I recommend that you spend 10 minutes with the video and pick up at least a few new tricks. If not, you can see what all the buzz is about, and what you’ll soon be able to get access to.
For those of you who can’t wait till the closed beta ends to get started, there are two opportunities to get your invite now:

Breaking news folks. This story has been reported by Forbes, MorningStar, Yahoo Finance, BusinessWire, Security Sales & Integration, and God knows who else. The amazing thing is… the news was only released less than two hours ago.
By the way, Elie, Jad and I are extremely grateful to Layered Technologies and 3Tera for their very quick reaction to our need to scale Woopra, and appreciative of the pledge of this absolutely massive quantity of Grid computing power. Thank you very much team!

Wow. After the introduction of Woopra to the WordCamp attendees yesterday, and a short interview with Cali Lewis of GeekBrief, Woopra has been all over the news today.
Elie Khoury, Jad Younan (the real geniuses behind the application) and I are all stunned and absolutely delighted that so many people are excited about the feature / functionality of the application. And we’re currently working very hard to figure out how we can rapidly make it available to a much wider audience.

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.
